Have a great new years eve.


I was wondering this morning if the schema should make a distinction
between a reference and a "inline" object description. I now think there
is no difference in syntax: In both cases it is a object, with id, and
optional other attributes and child elements.

If you like I can go through it in more detail. Unfortunately, I'm not
well versed enough to e.g. understand the difference between

and
