I've always missed a technical merit in those discussions. It has always been
like "I prefer that solution", "This is not how our implementation works", "It
is good enough for LNE/NI" etc. But maybe I missed something so please point me
to discussions that demonstrate why the adopted solution is better than what I
am proposing. I am arguing that it is exactly the other way around. The inline
and use-schema cases are different concepts and mixing them together makes the
whole thing needlessly complex to describe and understand.

I don't agree that we are *strongly* changing the solution. Simplifications and
clarifications are IMO badly needed.
