Hi Mireille,

just a small note: would it be possible to omit the reference to the sky 
in the description of "pos"?
Currently it says on page 5, Section 2, point 8:
"This section describes all quantities related to the position of an 
object on the sky"

We are using pos.cartesian.x etc. also for objects in a simulation of 
the universe, so I would be more happy if it would just read:
"This section describes all quantities related to the position of an object"

I realize that UCDs are mainly meant for observations, not necessarily 
for simulations. I guess extending them to include more simulation 
specific keywords would require an additional extension.

Cheers,

Kristin
