-----------------------------------------------------------------

Revision: It has been determined, through further discussion in the LegalRuleML TC, that certain edges should occur only in leaf from. This includes the "applies" edges, and similar edges, where the object of the relationship can be declared in a collection, and thus referenced through keyref, rather than being defined "in place" e.g. in a context. Therefore, the only edges that now fall within the scope of Issue #18 are the "has" edges, e.g. "hasLegalSources", ..., as these are the only remaining skippable edges in the lrml namespace.

Revision: It has been determined, through Issue #20, that certain edges should occur only in leaf from. This includes the "applies" edges, and similar edges, where the object of the relationship can be declared in a collection, and thus referenced through keyref, rather than being defined "in place" e.g. in a context. Therefore, the only edges that now fall within the scope of Issue #18 are the "has" edges, e.g. "hasLegalSources", ..., as these are the only remaining skippable edges in the lrml namespace.

> In the compact serialization there are multiple ways to represent certain cases of empty Nodes - as the Node, with no edge stripe, and as the edge in leaf form (no children). For those cases where there is a unique type of child Node for this edge, the leaf edge is redundant. That is, in all cases it could be converted to the stripe-skipped Node form without loss of information. For parsimony, it would be better to have only one respresentation.
