Good points, I think my use of the word 'description' and the example I
gave
are misleading

Within xpl we should consider the value part of a name/value pair as a
variant (no data type, for anyone who hasn't come across the term i.e.
since
the value is always a string it is up to the receiving app/device to decide
whether to intrepret the value as text, number, date etc)

Within my redrat app device=10, button=232, zone=1 would be just as valid
as
device=dvd1, button=play, zone=lounge
It is whatever is assigned by the installer

The app/device which is the targetted zone, would intrepet the values as
required within the remote.basic schema.

Does this work for everyone?

I've put a revised schema at
