Sorry if you feel I jumped to conclusions. You indeed only wrote:

Perhaps we still need to take a few steps back.

Do you think that a NML messages may contain multiple namespaces?

Do you agree with the following requirement I wrote earlier:
1. Be extensible
2. It should be possible to create a specific validator for each
relation type.
3. Parsers should be able to recognise an unknown relation type as a
relation subclass (rather then simply an unknown element)


If you have time to phone today, that would be great.
