Dear all,

     maybe we should rephrase the question behind this discussion: How can 
hierarchies and/or groups be implemented without breaking CF? More 
specifically, it seems that we should care about not breaking CF when the 
suitcases are packed or unpacked. It would be a nightmare if anyone or any 
interoperable application would have to re-build CF compliance every time the 
hierarchies are introduced or flattened out. Unless I am mistaken here this 
would mean that CF should be "group aware" without necessarily having to 
support hierarchies or groups as a concept. Would this be a compromise to work 
on?

Cheers,

Martin
