Yes, isReference is the only major issue. Unnamed NML objects also needs
text, but the issues are clear there.

If there is no clear use case and proposal after this OGF, I will be
forced to move this 'isReference' and 'idRef' to experimental status,
where it will be published in a separate document.


At a first read, I very much value Aaron's proposal, so I have good
hopes this still can be part of the base document.


Am I correct that there are now two proposals?

Jeroen's proposal: "If there are 2 network elements with the same id
attribute in a given document, the union of the two elements should be
considered the canonical definition of the element"

Aaron's Rule 1: If there are 2 network elements with the same id
attribute in a given document, the behavior is undefined.
