Marco, you should be a bit more careful about the wording. Adam and me choose to speak more in abstract terms like "sections", "nodes" etc. whereas you seem to think in concrete manifestations as file directories. You are both correct in a way. Let me explain: No package is supposed to create "nodes" in the DDH, as Adam correctly stated. Nodes are DDH sections, as defined in the DDH Subject Scheme. Well, some sort of subsections packages should be able to create (there you are right, Marco), but those would not be caled "nodes". Marco, you called both "dirs", but they are in fact different. For example, application "leaf nodes" are not allowed to have further subsections, whereas nodes in the DDH are supposed to have subsections. Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
