Not a very well-kept one. (See below :-)

Sorry, wasn't very explicit there.

The datum= attribute of the <geoDecl> element has 4 sample values,
but <geo> only has 3:
   
       datum= of <geoDecl>     datum= of <geo>
       (open list)             (closed list)
       ----- -----             ------- -----
       WGS84                   WGS84   
       MGRS            
       OSGB36                  OSGB36  
       ED50                    ED50    
                               other

I am far from an expert, and was not at the meetings, but without
further information I'd be inclined to make them both "semi" lists
with the values used on <geoDecl>.
