Tweaked examples and syntaxes to match the 2.0 RC 2 DTD. Cleaned up a couple of figures and incorporated several new reference citations. Added interpolation paragraph.

Deprecated signalID used for internal signals in check-case data in favor of the more consistent varID (which meant the introduction of a formal varID element) and made the specification of signalUnits sub-element mandatory for input and output signals for consistency. Thanks to Dan Newman for helping solidify the thinking about this issue.

Changed examples in this text to use updated AIAA variable names to match a revised (but unpublished) draft standard of September 2008. Changed many 'examples' to 'excerpts' to emphasize the missing portions of a valid DAVE-ML file. Corrected units in check-case examples to match the draft AIAA standard.

Removed the symmetric attribute of the uniformPDF sub-element; this attribute was redundant as symmetric distribution is implied with a single bounds sub-element, and asymmetric is implied by two bounds sub-elements. Kudos to Dan Newman and Dennis Linse for catching the inconsistent examples and for suggesting this convention.

Corrected the DTD by reversing the definition of the floor and ceiling values of the interpolate attribute of the independentVarPts element; also corrected the correlated uncertainty example. Thanks to Dan Newman for catching both of these problems in 2.0 RC1.

Corrected the DTD so that only one checkData element is allowed (but it can have multiple different staticShot test conditions). Thanks to Dan and Dennis for reporting this inconsistency between the reference manual and the DTD.

Added a description sub-element to the staticShot element in response to a suggestion by Dennis Linse; and added a typical description to example listings.

Added a section about namespaces and removed the hard link in the DTD that incorrectly set the namespace for the calculation element.

Added new multi-purpose creationDate element to replace the single-purpose fileCreationDate and functionCreationDate elements, at the suggestion of Dennis Linse of SAIC. fileCreationDate and functionCreationDate are now deprecated.

Corrected descriptions of ungriddedTableDef and griddedTableDef to reflect the possible use of an internal function element; previously the descriptions implied that these elements were only specified external to functions and thus the utID and gtID attributes, respectively, were required. Thanks to Dennis Linse for the correction.

Depicted provenanceRef as an option to the provenance sub-element for griddedTableDef , ungriddedTableDef , and function elements in the narrative part of this manual (it was described correctly in the reference section). Also added both provenance and provenanceRef as optional sub-elements of the variableDef and checkData elements. Thanks to Dennis Linse for the correction.

Added '[Deprecated]' to the description of griddedTable, ungriddedTable, and confidenceBound elements for consistency; these were previously deprecated but not marked clearly in each element's 'purpose' section. Thanks to Dennis Linse for the suggestion.

Updated the acknowledgment paragraph of the DTD; significantly reformatted the .PDF version of this document, and added section numbers to all versions.
