     - anyTEXT   may have embedded XHTML (conforming HTML)
     - astroYear is an epoch in Besselian or Julian year, e.g. J2000
     - arrayDEF  specifies an array size e.g. 12x23x*
     - dataType  defines the acceptable datatypes
     - ucdType   defines the acceptable UCDs (UCD1+)
     - precType  defines the acceptable precisions
