/ Sabine Ocker - Sun Microsystems <Sabine.Ocker@sun.com> was heard to say:
| 	1. Procedure remains unchanged
|
| 	   If you need alternatives at the top level, don't you really have
| 	   different procedures?
|
| Norm, can you please clarify what you mean by this? Are you saying that you 
| think having "choice" ie StepAlternative as a sibling to Step should be 
| marked up as two Procedures?   

Yes, that's what I was thinking. If the very first thing you do is
choose between several alternatives, maybe the right model is to have
several separate procedures.

But maybe not. Allowing stepalternatives as a child of procedure would
be more consistent, perhaps.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
