       This component schema definition provides simple type declarations for LOM
       data elements that are defined as Vocabulary data types.

       This component schema definition enforces that vocabulary sources and values
       are character strings, which simplifies the schema validation process for those
       applications that perform vocabulary source/value validation using 
       post-schema-validation.

       This component schema definition relaxes the validation constraints by 
       allowing both sources and values to be arbitrary character strings.

       NOTE: The absence of the enforcement of vocabulary values does not relieve a 
       particular LOM XML instance from satisfying vocabulary requirements defined 
       in the LOMv1.0 base schema. Applications that require the use of vocab/loose.xsd 
       component XSD should enforce those vocabulary requirements by other means.
