A comment on

  1. VOX:Image_Scale --> instr.scale and
  2. UCD1+:meta.bullshit (Bob's message)
    1. In the list of ucd1+ that I derived, the atoms "image" and "scale" are present in instr.scale and obs.image . To me the concept of scale in this context is more important than the concept of image, then I supported "instr.scale". A much better alternative could be the definition of the new ucd1+: obs.image.scale
    2. While examining all the tables and columns in Vizier I came across 2 or 3 columns whose names and descriptions were so cryptical that even going to the original papers I could not understand the nature of what the author(s) had in mind to describe. My limitation, of course. I then marked those cases with this (probably a bit offensive) tag. The file ~/ucd1-ucd1p.txt was then automatically generated from a much bigger/detailed file, and the tag slipped through. If and when we will move to ucd1+, I'll remove it.
