Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier
release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can
be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.

Reason for change:

 The components of the GML schema, e.g. gml:Point, are useful also outside of a
GML application schema (see, e.g., GEORSS). However, this is not properly
recognised in the standard which mainly discusses the use within a GML
application schema, but not in other schemas. In particular, no conformance
class for such usage exists.

Summary of change:  Add a conformance class for the use of GML schema components in other
schemas that are not GML application schemas.
Consequences if
not approved:

 Conformant use of GML schema components limited to GML application
schemas
