One other extremely minor potential issue in Redfish 2022.3 is that AttributeRegistry defines some Properties as having Edm.PrimitiveType.

Redfish Specification 1.17.0 11.1.5.6 Property element does not technically list Edm.PrimitiveType as a permitted type.

I appreciate that this is a ridiculously pedantic observation. Noticed only by accident while writing a code generation tool for which I initially only implemented the Table 27 types

Due to the nature of the attribute registry (as a means of describing arbitrary, non-interoperable BIOS attributes), this is really an exception to that statement. We can certain add an exception note about it to make it clear that it's used in the AttributeRegistry schema for that one use case, but no one should ever be looking to use it anywhere.

I quite understand; it perhaps might only be something to tuck away in an appendix for tool implementors or something, but I certainly don't feel strongly about it. I only mentioned it since it caught me off guard.
