SportsML 1.6: What's New in this Release

Core Adjustments

	Added this attribute to rank element:
		type		(for better-described rankings)
		
	Added these attributes to event-metadata:
		event-recurring-key
        	event-recurring-name
        			(for regularly recurring events, such as the Daytona 500, 
        			to help track stats from year to year. For example:
        				event-key="e.daytona-500.2005
        				event-recurring-key="er.daytona-500"
        			Hence the recurring-key stays the same from year to year, while
        			the event-key is unique for that one instance of the event.)
        
        Added these attributes to site-metadata:
	        shape		(for motor-racing, sample values such as "oval")
		incline		(for motor-racing, sample values such as "13" -- in degrees)
		length		(for motor-racing, sample values such as ".75")
		length-units	(for motor-racing, sample values such as "miles")
		type		(for motor-racing, sample values such as "super-speedway")

        Added highlight element as a child of team-stats and player-stats
        
        Added event-stats element alongside (and after) event-metadata. Holds event-stats-specific elements,
        	including event-stats-motor-racing, with attributes applying to the event as a whole.
        	The event-stats element could also record total goals scored for an entire hockey game, for example.
        	
        Allowed sports-property to appear under tournament-division-metadata
        	(it's already under tournament-metadata)
