preparing for EML 2.0.1 release

[Matt Jones]

Hi Peter,

Comments are more important.  That said, I tried to partition the bugs 
in bugzilla in such a way that the ones being targeted for EML2.0.1 
would be non-controversial (be sure to display "Target Milestone" in 
your results list to ee which ones are proposed to be fixed for this 
release).  Fixing a few of them is good because they would allow some of 
the existing LTER sites to publish EML valid metadata now (such as NTL, 
which is waiting on resolution of bug 1124).  The most important fix I 
think is fixing the problems with "inline" data, as the original spec 
was broken and didn't allow a text file to be inserted there (bug 1008). 
  I need to check and test David's fix for that, but I think it should 
work now.

Bottom line -- I'd like to get a non-controversial release out the door 
asap.  Anything controversial can be punted to the next release.  Your 
comments are needed and appreciated, so I'll wait until you have time. 
Thanks.

Matt
