Documentation incorrect for dateTimeDomainType bounds #133

within dateTimeDomainType (eg see eml:eml/dataset/dataTable/attributeList/attribute/measurementScale/datetime/date timeDomain), the documentation for the bounds/minimum and bounds/maximum elements is incorrect - it is currently the same documentation as for interval/numericDomain/bounds, which defines the min and max as numerical values. However, this is not appropriate for datetime, since the bounds can contain alphanumeric characters, not just numeric.

Note that the schema is correct - alphanumeric datetime bounds are validated OK - it appears to be just th edocumentation that's wrong.

Created a new group called BoundsDateGroup that allows the documentation and model to be different for date bounds than for numeric bounds. Now the date bounds are documented properly, and numeric bounds must be numbers (xsd:decimal) rather than strings (while date bounds are still string values).

FIXED.
