Summary: DMTF CRCIMXML00003

Initial Comment:
The Java CIM Client does not appear to implement DMTF CRCIMXML00003:

Background/Rationale:

The extrinsic PARAMVALUE element was added to IMETHODRESPONSE to support new intrinsic operations in DSP0200. This should have been the intrinsic IPARAMVALUE. We were going to leave this alone, as we had thought there where no output parameters that needed the extended capabilities provided by the IPARAMVALUE element. However, we found that was untrue, as the PullQueryInstances operation has an output parameter that returns a CLASS element. Unfortunately, there are several implementations in the field already utilizing PARAMVALUE. So rather than simply utilizing IPARAMVALUE, we are instead proposing to extend PARAMVALUE to handle the additional datatypes handled by IPARAMVALUE. 

Requested Change:
Replace line 802 of DSP0201 as indicated to add missing types found in IPARAMVALUE:
<!ELEMENT PARAMVALUE (VALUE|VALUE.REFERENCE|VALUE.ARRAY|VALUE.REFARRAY)?>

<!ELEMENT PARAMVALUE (VALUE|VALUE.ARRAY|VALUE.REFERENCE|VALUE.REFARRAY|CLASSNAME|INSTANCENAME|QUALIFIER.DECLARATION|
CLASS|INSTANCE|VALUE.NAMEDINSTANCE)?>

Change line 850 of DSP0201 as indicated to match number of parenthesis in DSP0203::

<!ELEMENT IMETHODRESPONSE (ERROR| (IRETURNVALUE?, PARAMVALUE*))>

Change line 276 of DSP0203 as indicated:

<!ELEMENT PARAMVALUE (VALUE|VALUE.REFERENCE|VALUE.ARRAY|VALUE.REFARRAY)?>

<!ELEMENT PARAMVALUE (VALUE|VALUE.ARRAY|VALUE.REFERENCE|VALUE.REFARRAY|CLASSNAME|INSTANCENAME|QUALIFIER.DECLARATION|
CLASS|INSTANCE|VALUE.NAMEDINSTANCE)?>
