Ummmm... I think there was a lot of disagreement about what "everybody"
wanted... By the looks of it now, everybody wanted something different,
but were calling it the same thing :-)  Unfortunately, when I asked for
some example objects, nobody volunteered, so we couldn't sort it out at
the time.

I remember vividly, however, that when I tried to write that (above XML)
on the screen, the room erupted in screams that I was making it all too
complicated, so I don't think that is what people wanted.  It may be
that we have all had time to digest the issue a bit more deeply now and
have come to the same conclusion?
