spatial and other entity types

[chad berkley]

Hi Matt, Peter and others,

The eml spatial entity information was adapted entirely from the ASU 
spatial entity schema.  You can check it out in eml-entity.xsd.  The 
type name is spatial-entity.  It extends entityBase and adds all of the 
information that the ASU files included for spatial references.  The 
documentation is kind of sparse because I took it straight from the ASU 
files.  I am not an expert in that area so I only added additional 
comments when I really knew what I was talking about.  The ASU gang may 
want to look over my documentation and feel free to edit/add/delete 
where appropriate.  Also, please let me know if you find any problems 
with the way that I translated the ASU schema.

thanks,
chad
