    Subject: RE: [emergency] FW: Suggestion: Add incidentKeyword tocontentObject


    Excuse me, Please, if my memory has turned to 
    swiss cheese, but I would have sworn we agreed 
    that EDXL-DE  could have multiple contentObjects 
    with one and only one payload each, and one and 
    only one DistributionType, so that no 
    contentObjects could be of a type different than 
    the DistributionType.
    
    Cross-eyed with Alzheimer's,
