Datatypes R2 Issue 95

Qualifiers on Qualifiers

Introduction

This issue was raised by Lee Coller in the ISO Datatypes ballot response:

Qualifiers shouldn't have qualifiers.  Add constraint on CR that value.qualifier is null 

This is actually an abstract datatypes issue. Should qualifiers have qualifiers?

In addition, Lee says:

Qualifiers shouldn't have originalText.  Add constraint on CR that value.originalText is null

Is this true?
