In the Scope statement, it says: "This Standard defines … vocabularies …". This is incorrect use of the term "vocabulary". The proper term is "value domain" (as defined by ISO/IEC 11179).

Change "vocabularies" => "value domain", and take definition of "value domain" from ISO/IEC 11179.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment US-0249 (Modified: 2007-12-27) We believe that “vocabulary” is the right term to use. A quick search for “XML vocabulary” using a popular search engine lead us to http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=XML+vocabulary&i=55060,00.asp , where “XML vocabulary” is defined as “A set of XML tags for a particular industry or business function.”
