Dear Heath,

The problem I?m focusing is an incorrectness regarding the dual model
methodology rules.

If in a reference model we have an attribute of the type ?String?, an
archetype constraining it must be a C_String instance from the archetype
model. If we had an attribute of the type ?Date?, then the correct AOM class
to constraint it would be a C_Date.

The problem here is that in the reference model we have a ?String? attribute
(the ?value? attribute of the DV_DATE) but the generated archetypes use a
C_Date class to constraint it instead using a C_String. Here is the
mismatch. Following the principles of the dual model approach we cannot
consider that a valid archetype with regard to the underlying reference
model.
