To: WebCGM WG <public-webcgm-wg@w3.org>

[...in order to close this formally in the WG...]

RECOMMENDATION:  for each of the 4 items (dashLength, gapWidth, 
directionVectors, lineTypeIndex) that are currently "repeatable" elements 
in the ACI, revise them to be XML attributes on their parent elements, 
encoded as list-of-number subtype.

This resolution was unanimous in all discussion on this thread,
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/cgmo-webcgm/200901/msg00083.html

and the unanimous resolution is reflected here (excerpted below):
