ecospold1 Schema Updates
1.1
This library includes a new version of the schema definitions for ecospold1. Version 1.1 includes the following changes:

Changed the length restriction on referenceFunction.name to 255
Changed the length restriction on referenceFunction.synonym to 255
Changed the length restriction on category and subCategory to 255
Changed the length restriction on representativeness.productionVolume to 32.000
Made telephone optional

These changes were based on how this schema was being used by LCA software.
1.2
Corrected the handling of CAS numbers based on the official documentation:

A fixed size isn't required, zero-padding is optional and in any case is not used consistently by LCA software
Maximum length is 12, not 11
The first element has a minimum size of 2 digits, not 1
