Hi, Seth

I have no problem with the schema you are suggesting.
The issue we are discussing seems to be formality v.s. practicality.

Best,
Michiharu

If we're only using attribute values now, and not expressions (which I
think may be the direcion we're heading), I'd suggest that we cut down
on tags by saying:

   <CombinerParameter ParamterName="creater"
                      DataType="...string">Alice</CombinerParameter>

In other words, make CombinerParameter an AttributeValue. This is how
AttributeAssignments look, and I think it makes sense here too. Just a
thought...
