Limit The Use of description@type Within An Activity

Currently the schema allows for multiple use of each iati-activity/description/type within an activity. Therefore a publisher is able to specify:

<description type="1">

<narrative> ..... </narrative

</description>

<description type="1">

<narrative> ..... </narrative

</description>

However, the original intention was that all descriptions of the same type should be held in a single description field. Therefore it is proposed to amend the schema to limit the use of description@type to 1 only of each type per activity

    This item has been moved to the '3.01 Integer Upgrade Proposals' forum for inclusion as part of an integer upgrade. This is because the change would not be backwardly compatible.
