(BillStatus XML v3): some list items not using <item>

[ryparker]

Is there any reason why the following shouldn't be replaced with <item>?

• <amendment>
• <summary>
• <recordedVote>
• <link>
• <committeeReport>

e.g. Current implementation:

<summaries>
	<summary>
		…
	</summary>
</summaries>
<amendments>
	<amendment>
		…
		<links>
			<link>
				…
			</link>
		</links>
		<latestAction>
			<links>
				<link>
					…
				</link>
			</links>
		</latestAction>
	</amendment>
</amendments>
<actions>
	<item>
		…
		<recordedVotes>
			<recordedVote>
				…
			</recordedVote>
		</recordedVotes>
	</item>
</actions>
<committeeReports>
	<committeeReport>
		…
	</committeeReport>
</committeeReports>

e.g. Proposed implementation:

<summaries>
	<item>
		…
	</item>
</summaries>
<amendments>
	<item>
		…
		<links>
			<item>
				…
			</item>
		</links>
		<latestAction>
			<links>
				<item>
					…
				</item>
			</links>
		</latestAction>
	</item>
</amendments>
<actions>
	<item>
		…
		<recordedVotes>
			<item>
				…
			</item>
		</recordedVotes>
	</item>
</actions>
<committeeReports>
	<item>
		…
	</item>
</committeeReports>

@ryparker - this would require changes on the upstream Congress.gov API. While this is something that could be done, it would likely be a breaking change that would require additional discussion and notification from them.
