QT-approved comment.

Section 2.1. It is worth noting that the word "value" has different
meanings in Schema and in QT. This gives QT some terminology problems: a QT
atomic value is a pair comprising an SV and a type, where an SV is a "value"
as defined in XML Schema; but QT has no name for the concept, having used
"value" for something else. This sometimes leads to circumlocutions such as "a
point in the value space". A more distinctive term, such as "datapoint",
might be worth considering.
