Remove occurences from the path #302

I'd like to go ahead with this because it's blocking my "code generators" from the Matroska EBML Schema. IIRC the goal was originally that with just a path you can tell how to interpret the element. But that's not the case, there's not the type for example. In the end the Schema is more complete. The path is still important to describe new elements in "foreign" documents without ambiguity. |

| The minOccurs is an integer representing the minimum permitted number of occurrences of this EBML Element within its Parent Element. | ||

| Each instance of the Parent Element MUST contain at least this many instances of this EBML Element. |

Perhaps 'contain' is the wrong word. As minOccurs=1 with a default value does not need to be 'contained' within the parent.

This is the same wording that was used in EBMLMinOccurrence, dating back to 40fe4cb.
In the next sentence(s) it actually explains in which case the element can be omitted: EBML Elements with minOccurs set to "1" that also have a default value declared are not REQUIRED to be stored.
It was all on the same line before and still in the same paragraph.
For maxOccurs there's no such thing. How about:
Each instance of the Parent Element MUST contain at most this many instances of this EBML Element, including the unwritten mandatory element with a default value, see (#note-on-the-use-of-default-attributes-to-define-mandatory-ebml-elements).

After merging #303 this needs a rebase. |
