A nested ClassificatioNode definition is how things used to be until someone
who is no longer among us made a large amount of complaint on how recursive
structure are bad for many XML processors and as a concession we changed to
this non-recursive (non-nested way). Len, Nikola and I felt in teh
classification sub-team that we should also allow the recursive option. This
may happen out of the Classification sub-team.
