[tdwg-tapir] {Definitely Spam?} Modification inthe Inventoryresponse

["Döring, Markus"]

...and what about naming the attribute just "label" ?
More humanlike, isn't it?
 
  <concept path='dwc:/Country' label='Country' />
  <concept path='dwc:/Country' tag='Country' />
  <concept path='dwc:/Country' elementName='Country' />

I don't know, for me this does not look like a big issue, but in any case here is a proposal that makes possible to assign names to the elements that are responded.
