Hi everybody,

> there is no logical reason why startOffset should be less than endOffset

We have to remember that startOffset and endOffset are actually indices.
That's why we renamed them in yesterday's phone conference to startIndex
and endIndex. They indicate the index of the 1st and the last data point
the associated *ValueSet should map to. So the start index actually has
to be smaller than the end index.

Building a ValueSet where the endIndex is smaller than the startIndex
would be very confusing. What would it mean? Should the values be mapped
in reverse order? So I believe that the startIndex <= endIndex
constraint actually makes sense.

Best wishes,
Burkhard
