[MOBY-dev] Bad documetation for Secondary parameters in MOBY Central

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi all, 

I just got a heads-up from Eddie that the documentation for
MOBY::Central was incorrect.  It had enumerated the valid secondary
data-types as STRING|INT|FLOAT, etc.   They are, in fact, String,
Integer, Float, DateTime (capitalization differences).  This is tested
at the DB level, so it causes some mis-registration if you aren't aware
of the problem.

We're fixing the code to throw a warning when it detects a mistaken
parameter, but I wanted to let you know that this is an issue in case
you have been wondering why you can't register secondaries :-/

M
