Issue

SBO attribute type definition belong to a specific stack mapping to MMS (8-1) and defined as VISIBLE STRING129. As defined in clause 9.5.5 for data attributes structure type, which belongs to a specific stack mapping (as SBOw, Oper, Cancel): "BDA list shall be followed by a ProtNS
element for each SCSM". But SBO has basic data type, so specify ProtNS for SBO is unpossible.
I think, because SBO belongs to a specific stack mapping, it must be possible specify ProtNS for this attribute.
