[nm-wg] Response Schema question

[Eric Boyd <eboyd@internet2.edu>]

Greetings,

In the relaxed response schema, delay (RT or OW) is defined as:

xsd:double, attribute units { token }

Could someone (Dan?) please explain what units are implied here, if any, 
and explain exactly what this means? (Variable units? Fixed fine-grained 
units, implying integers are OK? Fixed large units, implying fixed point 
numbers are required?)

In addition, it seems like there should also be a way to specify one of two 
special values for delay.

        a) "Undefined"
        b) "Infinite"

Can this be done in the current schema?

The latter ("Infinite") needs the context of the measurement methodology 
... what is your loss threshold before you "give up".

Can this be done in the current schema?
