It is recognized that Appendix A has a number of problems with its examples. The current plan (see #53) is to replace appendix A with an independent implementation note in version 1.6.
Since Appendix A begins with
The definitions enclosed in this appendix are not part of VOTable 1.1, but are considered as candidates for VOTable improvements.
perhaps no additional cautions are needed now for readers of this section.
In looking more closely at this issue, I agree that LINK
should not have an attribute type
, but I'm less sure what makes this correct. From the descriptive text above it looks like the type="location"
was supposed to be on the FIELD
, but even that is explicitly not part of VOTable 1.5, just reserved for possible future use. I'm not sure if moving it there matches the original intent.
I would be happy to consider PRs to address this, but don't think it is worth much effort or discussion since the whole appendix is non-normative and slated for deletion.
on Link tag in the example
LINK type="location" href="http://ivoa.spectr/server?obsno="
but Link has no tribute type, should be content-role
