At the time I got the impression that the rest of the group just found what I was advocating (retaining the wrapper element) too complicated. I don't think we discussed "too complicated" for whom. After, as I was contemplating the arguments made by the rest of the group it seemed that really this "too complicated" is too complicated for someone beginning RDF, it's a dirty hack whose inelegance is such that it will put people off understanding this construct. Since, as Pat so rightly points out, we take the G view, we are unwilling to have a hack that messes that up badly. Jeremy
