Simplify cancellation and NIL cases #8

Closed marqh closed 6 years ago

The current version of the schemas require a good amount of description for a relatively small message (CNL, NIL, etc.), mostly in the form of OM_Observation information. This should be simplified so that only the necessary information is carried in these cases.

Any changes made should also reflect the ICAO WG-MIE/4 decision that was made regarding the minimum set of content that should be included in IWXXM messages.

The original concern about NIL and CNL cases was with the unnecessary structure that was carried by requiring time and location information, which was buried under O&M constructs. After reviewing all of the current examples it appears that this issue was resolved with #27 changes - there is no longer any unnecessary structure. Closing this issue.
