Issue JSR188-01

Dear Colleagues,

I have been thinking about the datatyping issue and I have some further
comments that may be helpful to you.

I would like to draw a distinction between global and local datatyping in
the serialisation(s), and in the model. 

So essentially the issue I outline below can be restated "due to human
readability issues, I believe the serialisation(s) should allow both global
and local datatyping. However I cannot forsee that there is any problem with
resolving this to purely local datatyping in the underlying model". 

You may find this distinction helpful in your discussions.

best regards,
