A suggestion has been made to add an <xsd:any> tag to the end of the
<cpe-item> in the CPE Dictionary schema.  (note that <xsd:any> is
already present in the <cpe-list> element)  This will allow the
dictionary schema to be extended to allow additional information
without sacrificing validation of the required CPE information.

This change should not affect anything with the existing 2.1 release,
hence I have added it and produced a release candidate 2.  If there are
any concerns, please voice them now.

I also took the opportunity to fix a few spelling mistakes that were
found.

Still planning on going final with CPE 2.1 on Jan 16th.

Thanks
Drew
