Many
of the attributes are inadequately defined or their meaning is
deliberately left open. This partly defeats the purpose of the schema
since it was designed specifically to be a format for exchanging usage
data over grids but if interpretations of the attributes are different at
different sites/grids, comparing exchanged data becomes
complicated. For example the Charge, Status, StartTime, EndTime,
base properties claim that "The meaning of this charge will be site
dependent", "the semantic meaning of the status is site
dependent" or "the value of this property may depend on
the queuing system", etc.
Evaluation: Related to 5b); defer to mailing list; tighten
