Re: decorator batch in bash

Thanks for the information, gentlemen.

Ah, thanks. That gives me a better chance of making it. (Still not
great.)

OK, but the devil is in the details. xsd:boolean permits the values
"true", "false", "1", and "0". It does not permit "yes" (nor "01" nor
"2"). The canonical values are "true" and "false".

OK, good. I think it is fine to leave it as is, BTW, but it requires
that we document the heck out of it.

Ah, thanks!

I have no intelligent thoughts on routes forward at this time.
