because the structures take care of all data points, not just coded ones. But your /fils guides/ are rather special - they do the same thing, unlike an ordinary grammar, so it's not really an argument. In fact I would say that today we could derive a computable transformation from the trees <=> ADL2 archetypes.
Such concept is described in a (already) 10 years old document (http://philippe.ameline.free.fr/download/texts/LigneDeVieForPrevention.pdf).
yes this is an excellent document - it even has the distinction between archetypes and (what we call) templates - the heading 'Federating heterogeneous information'.
