I'm slightly inclined not to enforce that relation.
Thus, it is allowed to define ports without its node.

The use case I have in mind is a topology (aka graph aka network aka 
domain) with ports, without explicit nodes.

The obvious downside is that we allow too much, we still end up with 
incompatible software, because each software tool only support a subset 
of what can be described.
