[SensorML] A question about outputs.

The type "swe:Quantity" specifies the data type: The element "value" must 
contain a xsd:double. 

I wrote a little list, which XML-schema datatype belongs to which SWE-common 
datatype:

SWE type         content type
---------------  ----------------
Quantity         double
Category         token
Boolean          boolean
Count            integer
Time             dateTime
Text             string
