Re: proposed ADL 1.5 simplification

[Thomas Beale <thomas.beale@oceaninformatics.com>]

Remember that the archetypes in use today, in files with the '.adl' extension are all ADL 1.4 'legacy' archetypes. ADL 1.5 archetypes are 'adls' files; your environment can chose to use whichever you want. The legacy ones are not over-written or changed in any way by the ADL 1.5 tooling (ADL 1.5 flat-form archetypes are saved in '.adlf' files. )

the minimal change to any archetype when migrating to 1.5.

We should avoid this kind of automatic changes. A user might not expect that his 1.4 ADL code is changed to a different syntax without at least a warning, since it can have an impact on his system implementation. As a typical example, when you open a .DOC document with Microsoft Word 2007/2010, it will never change it to .DOCX automatically.
