Summary

There is no definition of what a scheme is and how it is to be used within the manual.

For example I had a user add a scheme for a "parent account", and "child account", and "currency scheme" within a party's Account in a trade.

There needs to be a rule in the manual that says a scheme provides alternate identifiers for one identity. It is not used to identify things other than the identity of the thing that contains it.

This may be obvious to us, but it is not obvious to users.

    Definition has been added to the Architecture Specification, Readme file for coding schemes, and coding scheme documentation at the Specification. Changes have been committed to the trunk.
