Application XML Elements
The following sections describe the application-level XML elements that define application metadata:
Reviewers: a very few of the XML elements were marked required,
but I suspect more are. I know a user can find that out by looking them up in the XSD, I
didn't have time to do that. So, if you notice any that s/be required, please let me
know.
