[nm-wg] Relax NG Request Schema

[Paul D Mealor <pdm@hep.ucl.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

The request schema can be found relaxing here:

http://www/~pdm/nmwg/

I've tried to make it as similar to the newest report schema as I can, and 
it does look quite similar.

The most notable changes in the request schema are:

* time information has been moved within the methodology, a la response 
  schema;

* tool information is also in the methodology... I'm not sure if it's 
  entirely sensible there, though - you can only specify one tool to use 
  if you want to specify a tool, and there isn't yet a way of marking it 
  optional/required etc; also the command lines are specified here;

* the parameters now have the same names as in the response schema with 
  the extra "required", "range" and "report" attributes;

* an allowNewMeasurements attribute and the maxResults attribute have been 
  added to the "Request" element.

No examples yet, and no XMLSpy "documentation", because XMLSpy crashes 
when I try to load Trang-generated XSDs. Did yours work straight off, Dan?

Both schemas need support for nodes that have only a name and no IP (I
think). Otherwise, nm_subject are all but identical (the request schema
has a lot taken out, you might notice)

Both nm_tools are very close, except for the added command-line options. 
Possibly boolean required and report attributes need to be added, however.

nm_timeinfo (represents a time period) and nm_statistics (represents 
requests for particular statistics) are unique to the request schema, and 
nm_time and nm_values are unique to the report schema.

I think the next step is to try to use the same nm_parameters files...
