Umm, does this mean that also Simples into Collections *must* have an 
articlename too, even an arbitrary one? I was wondering if the lack of 
an articleName in the "Simple inside a Collection" example (see the API 
documentation, section INPUT) means that a Simple has to have 
articleName when is the only input 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <moby:MOBY xmlns:moby="http://www.biomoby.org/moby">
          <moby:mobyContent>
              <moby:mobyData queryID='a1'>
                   <Simple articleName='input1'>			<------- articleName here!
			 <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="163483"/>
                   </Simple>
              </moby:mobyData>
          </moby:mobyContent>
       </moby:MOBY>

but does not need it when is inside a Collection?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <moby:MOBY xmlns:moby="http://www.biomoby.org/moby">
         <moby:mobyContent>
          <moby:mobyData  queryID='b1'>
              <Collection articleName="mySequenceCollection">
                 <Simple>						<------- no articleName here?						
                  <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="163483"/>
                 </Simple>
                 <Simple>
                  <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="244355"/>
                 </Simple>
                 <Simple>
                  <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="533253"/>
                 </Simple>
                 <Simple>
                  <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="745290"/>
                 </Simple>
               </Collection>
          </moby:mobyData>
         </moby:mobyContent>
       </moby:MOBY>


Also, probably the twiki needs an update, because as today still says "The articleName attribute of the Simple and/or Collection elements is
optional (it may or may not be there, and if there, it may or may not have a non-null value)". Note that the last part of the phrase contradicts Paul's solution.
