Hey all.

Both ATK/AT-SPI2 and IA2 have "member of" and "node parent of"
accessible relation types. I'm wondering if both are needed.

If memory serves me, "node parent of" was added as an after-the-fact
inverse relation type for the "node child of" relation type. It's used
in Gtk+ for trees and tables, and in ARIA implementations to map
aria-owns. It seems to me that "node parent of" could also be used for
whatever purpose "member of" was intended for. But I say that as someone
who isn't seeing "member of" used on her platform.

Given that some folks desire ATK/AT-SPI2 and IA2 be harmonized wherever
possible, I figured I would ask if "member of" serves some helpful
purpose in IA2 implementations. If so, I'm hoping your concrete examples
will help me improve the ATK and AT-SPI2 docs. <smiles> If not, should
we consider deprecating it on our respective platforms?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insight on this matter!
