[QTI] Some doubts about results reporting

[Luis Javier Peris]

I'm really thank you Pierre. Now everything is clearer. But I'm not a
forward observer and I'm still having some doubts. what does means the
following element?

        <outcomeVariable identifier="completionStatus" cardinality="single"
baseType="identifier">
            <value>unknown</value>
        </outcomeVariable>

why is a completionStatus  unknown??

In the example (report.xml), the itemResult appears two times. Why  can an
itemResult appear two times??

Finally, a question that failed to get a mention about the identification
element. Can I expand an identification element inside a context element,
can't I? Such as the iden_fname_001.xml:
<identification>
        <contentype>
            <referential>
                <indexid>identification_01</indexid>
            </referential>
        </contentype>
        <formname>
            <typename>
                <tysource sourcetype="imsdefault"/>
                <tyvalue>Preferred</tyvalue>
            </typename>
            <contentype>
                <referential>
                    <indexid>formname_01</indexid>
                </referential>
            </contentype>
            <text>Frederick Williams</text>
        </formname>
    </identification>

Greetings.

> baseType="integer">
>             <candidateResponse>
>                 <value>1</value>
>             </candidateResponse>

> * outcomeVariable element in report, does the same for the outcome

> * the candidateResponse again is not limited tot responses by the
