moving oval-def:NotesType to OVAL Common breaks backward compatibility #237
Description
In addressing issue #6, we ended up breaking backward compatibility because we moved the NotesType construct from the OVAL Definitions Model to the OVAL Common Model. As a result, when pre-OVAL 5.11 content is validated against OVAL 5.11, it is finding oval-def:notes and oval-def:note elements, but, is expecting oval:notes and oval:note elements.
Please see the following thread for more information.

Changed OVAL 5.11 XSD, allow oval:note and oval-def:note inside notes

The following commit fixes compatibility issues in openscap. Could serve as an inspiration for OVAL 5.11.1 change addressing this.
OpenSCAP/openscap@8e1f69c
There is one issue, the change allows empty elements whereas they weren't allowed previously. I believe we can address this in schematron but I haven't implemented that yet. It could also be addressed with xsd:assert but we'd need to use XSD 1.1 which is not well supported.
Comments welcome.
