commit 12a9a3b38ceeb3379b6339de53b782262bb4d56c

    Prescribe an appropriate value for <IsInforce>
    
    Formerly, the schema said to default this element's value to 'Yes',
    which seemed appropriate because in practice files are provided by
    external systems only for inforce. However, that conflicted with the
    advice, in 'multiple_cell_document.rnc', to copy case and class default
    cells from this file:
      http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lmi.git/plain/sample.cns
    which are not inforce.
