Updated multi-lingual structure for IDD in genericode

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Hello again,

For those already looking at version 0.1 of the 
IDD files in genericode, the files have been 
restructured based on feedback received.  Version 
0.2 with the time stamp 20070721-1610z is now 
available on Crane's web site in the "Free 
resources" area on the "UBL Resources" page under 
the "Report resources" section.

There is one genericode file per language per 
model, and one aggregate genericode file per model.

This is an example row from an aggregate genericode file:

  <Row>
     <Value ColumnRef="rownum">
        <SimpleValue>5</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="den">
        <SimpleValue>Address. Postbox. Text</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="name">
        <SimpleValue>Postbox</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="ubldef">
        <SimpleValue>A post office box number.</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="card">
        <SimpleValue>0..1</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="type">
        <SimpleValue>BBIE</SimpleValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="terms">
        <ComplexValue>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="EN">PostBox, PO Box</idd:Value>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="ES">Apartado postal</idd:Value>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="IT">Casella Postale</idd:Value>
        </ComplexValue>
     </Value>
     <Value ColumnRef="def">
        <ComplexValue>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="EN">A post office box number.</idd:Value>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="ES">Número de apartado postal</idd:Value>
           <idd:Value xml:lang="IT">Un numero di casella postale.</idd:Value>
        </ComplexValue>
     </Value>
  </Row>

Note above how now there is only a single column 
for terms, with a complex structure containing 
each of the individual languages.  This structure 
is identical to the single-language version, only 
the single-language version has a single language 
instead of many.  This provides more symmetry to 
applications working with these files.

These files also incorporate all of the comments enumerated in:

I look forward to any more feedback on these files.

Thanks!
