Why would archdesc get these two attributes but c wouldn't?

[fordmadox]

I also had the localType pair added to the new functions element, since I think that was mentioned in another ticket... though it's not noted above. Anyhow, I've done a first pass. Let me know what else needs to change.

[fordmadox]

Ahh... the reason I added the localType pair to functions was to align with EAC. I did the same for the rest of the new plural elements, like agents (though not listed above). Let me know if any of those attributes should be removed. If so, then we'll also need EAC-related tickets eventually.

[kerstarno]

Why would archdesc get these two attributes but c wouldn't?

Because <archdesc> already has @localtype in EAD3, while the numbered and unnumbered <c> elements don't. If there is a request and suitable use case to add @localType also to the latter that could be discussed, but we haven't had it so far.

Thanks for taking care of <functions> - that slipped through the net.

[kerstarno]

Tested with the XSD and the RNG and can confirm that this has been implemented as expected with the only exception of <agent>, which is currently missing @localType and @localTypeDeclarationReference. However, I will report this in #58, so this issue here can be marked as "Tested successfully".
