EAs should be defined at the appropriate level, rather than use the level attribute #97

Going to look at defining EAs at the component or element level as appropriate, rather than use the level attribute. This will probably use a new tag: <eactivity> to replace <aactivity>, and the new test structure will be defined under this new XML element.

This will be a major overhaul of the way EAs are represented in XML. EAs will be defined at the component or element level as appropriate. Also, EA subelements will be be defined more tightly to encourage more rigor and detail in the defining of tests. The plan is to allow the new <eactivity> and old <aactivity> tags to co-exist in the same PP during a transition period.

Besides encouraging better defining of tests, we hope this tightening of the schema will support test automation.
