For the call today, here are the proposals for some of the issues
(the reference numbers are given relative to Keith's summary email
 that we went through last week).

1.2 Changes to ForeignComplexType

	Add the following methods to DIForeignComplexType
	and change the IID (givne in pseudo code):

	string type_name();

		Returns the (unscoped) name of the data type.  This
		can be used to more easily determine what type a given
		pseudo object is (e.g. for exceptions).

	string scoped_name();

		This returns the fully scoped name of the type with
		scope names separated with "/".  This is also to allow
		easier type determination that the current
"repository_id"
		method allows.  Note that this method can return an
		empty string (if the view cannot determine the scoped
name
		since it is not embedded in the typecode).

	string repository_id()

		This method already exists and is left unchanged.  It
can
		generally be documented for users as being the way to
		determine if two types are the same.
