Stephen:

Trying to foresee all situations we could face:

- "composability" of shares material only makes sense for the logical
ones: Predicate, Prerequisite - and maybe for normativeSource. Others
are always overriden. 

- It might be too inflexible to specify at top level (set header) what
the policy should be.
Can't we have a situation where in the same set (say a set of Tas for a
conformance profile), a TA will override a shared part (e.g. a few Tas
in the set have their own prerequisite that should ignore the "shared"
one), while the others - the bulk of them - will always "compose" with
the shared prereq?

- In this situation, shouldn't we make room for indicating how to deal
with the share in  a more flexible way? E.g. could be an additional
"@mode" attribute on Prerequsite or Predicate element. In a TA,
prerequisite/@mode = "override" while in another TA, prerequisite/@mode
= "compose-and".

Subject: [tag] Groups - TAML Draft Schema
(testAssertionMarkupLanguage-0-5.xsd) uploaded

The 'shared' element in TA set has been modified: Separate aggregate
elements have been created, namely 'overrides' and 'composites', as
children of 'shared'. These contain shared TA parts. The behaviour of
the shared parts in relation to the set's contained TAs depends on
whether they are 'overrides' (override corresponding parts of the
grouped TAs) or 'composites' (added to the corresponding grouped TAs'
parts with compsite 'AND' behaviour).
