Dimensions spec - problem in 2.5?
The explanations beginning section 2.5 (see below) from the dimensions
spec. is confusing.
First sentence (see below) talks about "xbrldt:dimensionItem
substitution group", and the last sentence talks about "xbrli:balance,
xbrli:periodType and nillable attributes" ... none of which are shown in
the xml schema block between the two sentences.
Problem?

==================================
2.5 Dimensions (normative)
[Def, 5] A dimension declaration is an abstract item declaration in the
xbrldt:dimensionItem substitution group. A dimension is each of the
different aspects by which a fact may be characterised.
<xs:element
name="dimensionItem"
id="xbrldt_dimensionItem"
abstract="true"
substitutionGroup="xbrli:item"
type="xbrli:stringItemType"
xbrli:periodType="duration"/>
The xbrli:balance, xbrli:periodType and nillable attributes of a
dimension item declaration have no significance.
