In implementing DM-31017 I found a few minor issues with metadata in the IDL files:

1) The Description metadata for each topic is an empty string.

This is true not only for generic topics (for which it would be nice to have useful descriptions), but also for topics in the XML that I know have description strings.

Here is an example from the XML. The following in Test_Commands.xml:

<EFDB_Topic>Test_command_setArrays</EFDB_Topic>

<Description>Set array values.</Description>

translates to the following in sal_revCoded_Test.idl (this includes a few extra lines to illustrate the next point):

struct command_setArrays_0dd79125 {  // @Metadata=(Description="")

	  long	TestID;	//private // @Metadata=(Description="Index number for CSC with multiple instances")

	  string<8>	private_revCode; //private // @Metadata=(Units="unitless",Description="Revision code of topic")

2) There is no Units field for the metadata of the xID field.

See the example just above. It should be Units="unitless", as in the private_revCode field shown.
