[om] Re: [om-a] Updated OpenMath Content Dictionary Distribution

[Andreas Strotmann]

Thank you, David.  

I have a quick comment, and I'm sure you have been discussing it
internally.  

You moved several symbols from one CD to another (e.g. "conjugate" from
arith1 to complex1).

I'm not sure it's a good idea to remove the symbol from the "old" CD
altogether.  I'd prefer a solution where in the above example the new
version of the arith1 CD contained some notification that the "conjugate"
symbol has been deprecated, and that it should be translated to
(cd=complex1,name=conjugate), the idea being that this can then be used
for automatic upgrading of OpenMath software, and for improving
backward-compatibility.
