Yes, my fault. I meant the primary attribute of the rule element.

I can live with the existence of primary and complexity attributes with the "atomic" and "yes" value constraints for the test samples coming from BTW (still think that is better to get rid of them if is not too difficult for BTWers), but I don't think adding them to the metadata documentation is a good idea, because having this properties with such constraints could be seen as something quite strange for outsiders (as they are not necessary for anything apart from the BTW compatibility). 

On the other hand, this could be opening a dangerous path: if we don't add them to the metadata documentation, are we going to accept any other properties or elements that are not part of the TS metadata? (e.g. proprietary elements or extensions from contributors)

Regards,
 CI.
