Adam,

Have you considered the difference between createX and addX. This is not about 
attribute/elements. It is about who knows how to create an object. If we just 
have setX, then the implication is that all nested element objects are created 
by the core and not by the task. Are you suggesting that the ability for a task 
to create its nested elements should be removed?

Conor
