If the data element provides information about its parent, what is the point/meaning/use case for nesting data elements? 2. Since the data element provides information about another element, I wondered if it made sense to provide some kind of "idref-ish" attribute on the data element to allow one to point to the target element. But upon reflection, I'm not sure it does. 3. I could imagine having similar metadata for multiple elements, and you might not want to repeat the same information again. Would the standard conref mechanism allow one to have a data element that could just refer to another data element? paul
