Many of the attributes just state that they are optional and not what their cardinality is.

Charge Attribute: Should be of type float so that charging can be done in fractional units

Status Attribute: Should be of type QNAME so that states are all machine-readable and so that all systems can agree upon
 the interpretation of the states (or at least recognize that they do not recognize the state!) As it is, if a record 
contains an '8' because of a state that you do not represent, nothing else on the planet will stand a chance to 
understand it!

Network, Disk, Memory Attributes: type should be float to account for reporting in terms of fractions of a unit (e.g. 
half a megabyte) and with rate-related units it is not clear how to combine the units language to describe them.

Network Attribute: Missing word from description of "min" metric.

WallDuration, CpuDuration Attributes: Type must be interval/duration and not timestamp, since timestamps cannot measure 
a length of time (they only record an instant or event).

ProjectName Attribute: Bad grammar in second sentence of descriptive text.

Swap Attribute: Does this have units? Could we have some more descriptive text here?

ServiceLevel Attribute: Silly error in first bullet point.

Supported Data Types: You need to add interval/duration to this.
Update: Synchronization Required
I see that many of the type faults I report are correctly handled in the XML Schema.  Perhaps the correct comment is 
that more effort should be put into making sure that the Natural Language document matches the Normative Schema.
