<info> subtree

[Peter Dobcsanyi]

Hi,

The <info> subtree has been simplified and in the same time made more
strict.  The new structure is :

    info = element info {
        element software { text } + ,
        element reference { text } * ,
        element note      { text } *
    }

If the <info> subtree is present then it must contain at least one
<software> element describing the program producing the file. The text
content of the software element should precisely identify the program.
For example:

    <info>
        ...
      <software> bdtool 0.1/157 </software>
        ...
    </info>

Using a CVS or SVN Id is perhaps the best method:
    
    <software> $Id: bdtool 157 2004-06-04 12:44:36Z peter $ </software>

In general, more than one program contribute to the production of an
ext-rep file. Each of them must include its own software signature, so
the exact program which created/extended/manipulated the given ext-rep
file can be traced back and/or reproduced from the revision control
systems.

The current version of design.rnc is 1.3.
