If I put an origin on every config leaf and config p-container, why
would I need another origin somewhere up in the np-container hierachy?
We seem to make rules that to some extend miss the point we are really
trying to make, namely that every config leaf and config p-container
must have an origin (defined directly or inherited). If you choose to
inherit origin attributes, it follows that there must be a place to
inherit from (but that place does not have to be the root or a root).
