I'm working on the definitions of the node types in my application. After reading the spec, there's one thing that didn't come across clearly (well, so far anyway). If I define a node with a required type of child node, can that child's primary type be a sub-type of the required node?

For example, say I have the following nodes defined

nt:base
|
|--- Vehicle
|      |
|      |--- Car
|      |
|      |--- Bicycle
|      |
|      |--- Boat
|
|--- Person

And I want to require a person to have a "primaryVehicle" child. I'd like that type to be anything in the Vehicle hierarchy. So can I define the type to be Vehicle, or do I need to give the list of Vehicle sub-types?

I'm assuming there's no way to define a type as abstract... if there were, I'd make Vehicle in the above example abstract.

Thanks,

Mark
