Did some layout and presentation improvements.

Is it possible to have more than one entry applies to one area? If yes the attribute type has to be changed to "L". It offers more flexibility.

Having two or more categories for the same area but regulations apply for only one then the information has to be split up into more than one entry. In any case "L" type could be a better choice.

I believe that once an area is classified as a category, it is only that category. I will check on this.

Rechecked with URL: http://www.unep-wcmc.org/protected_areas/categories/eng/index.html and made further presentational improvements.

raphael 19:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC): Can we change the camel case name of this attribute to categoryOfIUCN? Since "IUCN" is the abbreviation for an organization and is given in full in the definitions, I think we do not need to spell it out in full in the Camel Case name.

The full name "categoryOfInternationalUnionForConservationOfNatureAndNaturalResources" is 70 characters long. It makes some blocks in UML diagrams uncommonly large, which in turn leads to diagrams that are more difficult to draw and understand.

If S-100 says abbreviations must be spelled out, we should point this one out to TSMAD as a case for allowing exceptions to the rule.
