Issue 8524: refine constraint to include .xsd file in .ras file                                                                                                                                                     (ras-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: In section 8.1 Mapping RAS to .ras files, it indicates that the RAS asset should include the .xsd file for the profile... 

"Each .ras file includes the following types of files: 
• one XML Schema file (e.g., RASProfile.xsd ) 
• one manifest file (e.g., rasset.xml) 
• one or more artifact files (e.g., source code, models, test scripts, and so on)" 

We no longer include the .xsd file(s) in our packaged assets like XDE did.  If we do...it will be potentially more than one based on the profile being used.  We either need to start including this in today's RAS implementation or remove this from the spec.  I'm also pretty sure our .rmd files would not always validate in all circumstances against the minimum constraints the spec indicates the .xsd would enforce.  Not positive on this yet though...need to investigate some more. 

Proposal: 
In section 8.1, change text to: 
zero or more XML Schema files (e.g., RASProfile.xsd )
