`<maintenanceUpdateFrequency>` because there is a typo in the list of allowed values
in eml-dataset.xsd. For EML 2.2.0, a value of `unknown` is added to the list,
while the the original value of `unkown` is kept in the enumeration for
backwards compatibility with a note that its use is deprecated.

## access elements deprecated

While eml-access has been part of the standard for many years, its use has been
extremely limited, and most systems seem to omit and ignore the `access` elements
in the document in favor of using repository-specific mechanisms to control access.
Therefore, EML 2.2.0 deprecates use of the `access` elements in EML documents, and
this module will be removed in a future version of EML. As this is a backwards
incompatible change, the elements are still available in EML 2.2.0, but expect them to
be removed in a future release.
