[auscope-geosciml] A problem in BGS instance doc [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Oliver.Raymond at ga.gov.au]

The recently instance doc from BGS (https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/GeoSciML/branches/3.0.0_rc2/instances/BGS_MappedFeature_GeologicUnit.xml) has several occurrences of:

   <cgu:qualifier xlink:href=http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/ValueQualifier/200811/always xsi:nil="true"/>

My understanding is that using xsi:nil="true" means that you have no content for cgu:qualifier.  Ergo, you can't deliver the qualifier value "always" as well as "nil".  It's one or the other, but not both?

Cheers,
Ollie
