Excellent observation. I will note it in the online version of the Best Practices document. > To reflect this it may be an idea to name it the Object Design > approach I will mark this down as a possible name for the Third Design. > The choice between the three approaches seems to again come down to > a style driven decision. Oh my, I do hope that it's not a matter of "style". "Style" seems to suggest "by intuition", or "by personal preference". My hope is that we are developing guidelines to empower a schema designer can make intelligent decisions based upon a concrete decision space (i.e., all the design alternatives are spelled out, and the pros and cons of each design alternative is clearly understood). However, your point is well taken. We have not clearly spelled out the implications of the First, Second, and Third design. Please keep us focused until you (everyone) feel(s) comfortable that it is no longer a "style" decision, but rather an "engineering" decision. Thanks! /Roger
