- when published all response ranges/types are stored in the meta-data
- the RAT uses the metadata to setup up specific values for an instructor and 
setting
- if the homework is updated by hand, when published again the instructor will 
need to specify which values were originally in the question and which were 
not originally there
- the fourth value is a default and will be used for any unspcified values

- Publishing will check that all necessary values have been specified 
correctly (no IDs are used that aren't defined etc.)
- the RAT will discuss parameters in terms of the names in the subsections
 (where response going to have names?)
- values will be stored by IDS
- all missing values, or undefined IDS will use global defaults for that 
response type.

- Publishing will check that all necessary values have been specified 
correctly (no IDs are used twice etc.)
- the RAT will discuss parameters in terms of the names in the subsections
 (were response going to have names?
- values will be stored by IDS
- all missing values, or undefined IDS will use global defaults for that       
  response type.
