I forgot to do this when I bumped the document version a few commits ago. The main effect is to allow the value "1.6" for the version attribute of the VOTABLE element. That may be the only substantial difference between the 1.5 and 1.6 schemas, but possibly we'll come up with some other things before 1.6 REC. I'm following previous VOTable practice by labelling the xs:schema element with the attribute version="1.6pre" while 1.6 is still under development. I'm not exactly sure what the effect of that is, but I think it's at least harmless (as long as we remember to change it to "1.6" before REC).

I tend to call pre-release versions of schema files -wd1, -wd2, -pr1... so it's simpler to figure out a schema file's origin when you bump into one years later in some long-forgotten repo; but then a simple -pre (and then -pre1, -pre2...) is good enough, I guess.
