| If you look at section 3.3.1, you will find
| 
| " The <scope> element consists of one or more <topicRef>,
| <resourceRef>, or <subjectIndicatorRef> elements. The union of the
| subjects corresponding to these elements specifies the context in
| which the assignment of the topic characteristic is considered to be
| valid."
| 
| This was the basis for my remark about OR-ing.  How do you interpret
| this paragraph, if not describing the OR interpretation?

Ouch. You are of course right that this does support your
interpretation. 

I asked Steve (P.) now, and his recollection was that it should be
OR/any, so presumably the sentence in the terminology section is a
mistake. 

So it seems that I am wrong and you and Murray are right. The SAM
issue is still open, however.
