ISSUE: Minor renaming on interaction exchange type field

(Possibly something that can be resolved on tonights issues discussion,
without having to raise a bugzilla)

When a type is referenced in most places in the CDL language, the attribute
is called 'informationType' - to maintain a level of abstraction above the
type system actually being used.

However, the 'exchange' part of the 'interaction' construct has an attribute
'messageContentType'. Although this name identifies the fact that a message
is being transferred, it was not clear whether this was an informationType
or could be an XML schema type. Only by looking at the example did I see
that it referred to an informationType.

Therefore I would propose that this attribute should be changed to
'informationType' for clarity purposes. I don't think this would detract
from the meaning of the type field, as it is part of an element called
'exchange' which implies information is being exchanged, and the element
contains a 'send' and 'receive' variable definition.

Gary
