[m] moles entity abbreviation should be compulsory AND populated.

[lawrence]

It will make the browsing much easier if it's compulsory to populate this entity. Andrew has suggested the following xml-schema fragment to ensure that it happens.

<xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
        <xs:pattern value=".+"/>
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Noted.

Please note that this applies to a large number of other fields, but the complete patterns and restrictions have not been implemented yet. Some of the issues will only be resolved, or become irrelevant, after a bit of "battle-testing", so not applying restrictions before I have to has been my general rule. In this case, there is/was the chance that there was no abbreviation.

(P.S. who's been putting in the tag and then not putting any content in?)
