<p class="MsoNormal">As part of this I have updated, and am still updating, the version of the specification documents on volute, at

</span></span></span><u></u>Some extra attention is asked for the new section 5 which contains the description of a special data model containing some basic primitive types that all data models SHOULD use. This section used to be in an appendix but has been
promoted to the normative main body of the specification based on Pierre’s suggestions.<u></u><u></u></p>

</span></span></span><u></u>We need some discussion on whether/how to register data models. We propose that VO-DML/XML documents are made accessible through some standard registry ivoid and maybe requiring an extension? Markus mentions 3 options in his comments
as Registry chair, that require some more discussion. Markus, can you push this on the registry mailing list?
