Hi all,

Just a minor comment on the glyph definition in the CellML Graph
Metadata specification.

The specification currently defines four glyphs: cg:dots, cg:squares,
cg:circles, and cg:diamonds. I'd like to suggest that the glyph itself
should not be plural. So the four should be: cg:dot, cg:square,
cg:circle, and cg:diamond.

This default set doesn't include one of the most commonly used (in my
experience at least) glyphs, a simple cross (x). So I would like to
suggest the addition of cg:cross to the list of glyphs defined by the
metadata specification.

And given I'm not a big fan of square or diamond glyphs, I'd also like
to add cg:plus (+) and cg:triangle, and maybe a cg:asterisk (*) to
ensure a suitable range of glyphs are available. I guess a line has to
be drawn somewhere as to what to include, but we want to ensure a
sufficiently rich set of glyphs...guess it depends on people's
interpretation of rich :)
