Yes (and probably not just Nordugrid in fact) - we had another go at
this but I'm still not sure we have a conclusion. Basically we have a
trade-off, we either have something like the current draft and accept
that "shared shares" may result in the same information being published
many times, or else we have a more complex schema with a new object,
similar to the current separation between SA and VOInfo, which allows
the duplicated information to be separated out and published only once.
