validation of eml sample documents

[Scott Chapal]

Matt, Peter:

I was just finishing the identical excercise...with the same
conclusions, as this email came in.

> 1) Added an xmlns:eml namespace declaration and used it on the eml
> root element (and deleted several other xmlns that were not needed,
> but this was optional)
> 
> 2) it appears that all id's (id and packageId) must contain an
> alphabetic character because we have defined them as xs:ID.  We might
> want to consider redefining them as xs:string because of this
> limitation, and just rely on the key for uniqueness. Entered as Bug
> #563.

> 3) renamed your "description" element to "entityDescription"
> 4) added the required "unit" element
> 5) moved the "physical" element to the proper location in the sequence
> (following constraint)
> 
> 6) added the required "measumentScale" element
> 7) added the required "attributeDomain" element

Here's my version w/ one table.
