I did this way to have it very generic. The UML diagram from 
nml-base.pdf does not define too much details. For Lifetime it has only 
"sequence of (start,end)".

I took it from 
https://svn.internet2.edu/svn/nmwg/trunk/nmwg/schema/rnc/topo/nmtypes.rnc.

I took it from 
https://svn.internet2.edu/svn/nmwg/trunk/nmwg/schema/rnc/topo/nmtopo_base.rnc. 
This can be updated.

I took this attribute from the NML's UML diagram. It may have at least 
two values: "link" or "crossconnect". I remember the discussion that it 
should be removed but I haven't noticed any final agreement to do this 
so I included it in the schema.

I took it from 
https://svn.internet2.edu/svn/nmwg/trunk/nmwg/schema/rnc/topo/nmtypes.rnc.

I was trying to be as close to things defined in nmwg's topo stuff as 
possible because it seems to me quite complete and exists for few years 
(nmtb namespace shows 2007).

Should this base schema be more detailed? I think in few places yes 
(e.g., time parameters) but it should be defined and agreed by the NML 
group.

Cheers,
Roman
