Deeper explanation of the need for multiplicity syntax

[Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

I was doing some heavy work on XDI dictionary development today (more about that on Friday), and in the process I was thinking about Bill's observation that every context node in the XDI graph model represents a set. I realized why that approach -- which I very much agree with -- was actually what motivated the proposal for multiplicity syntax.

I took the time to write down that explanation on the Discussion page for the multiplicity proposal:

Please do read through it prior to Friday's telecon if you can.

Markus: note that I also answered the questions that you had posed there earlier last week.
