Description

@egonw

Currently, <Pathway organism=""> attribute can hold one or more species names. The semantics is not fully defined. The XML Schema clearly indicates there can be zero or one attribute, but I did not find if the attribute can only contain one or also multiple species.

For example, the following GPML is valid against the XML Schema:

<Pathway xmlns="http://pathvisio.org/GPML/2021" title="linamarin biosynthesis"
  organism="Manihot esculenta, Linum usitatissimum, Lotus japonicus, Manihot esculenta"
