Related to #73.
In looking over the contents of the ISMRM DSGW abstract producing a poster, this came across as erroneous. While having an arbitrary
"OrientationRepresentation" = "param"
potentially gives some capacity for supporting exotic models not yet integrated in the specification, it seems to me now that it's not appropriate to use such a mechanism for the tensor. While we think of the diffusion tensor as a "model", it's actually a data representation that is theoretically extensible to other models (eg. multi-tensor models where you might have multiple such images; discrete mixture models where you may have one or more components that are stored as tensors; non-DWI modalities that also have anisotropy information per voxel that may in the future make use of this orientation representation construct).
