EVA-1406 Support custom IDs in the ALT column #175

Closed jmmut closed 5 years ago

jmmut commented 5 years ago

Previously, custom ALT ids were only allowed as subtypes (e.g. ). After a discussion with the spec, custom ids are also allowed as main types (e.g. ).

This means that the predefined types should only be at the beginning of an id if it has subtypes, i.e. contains ':'.
