Okay, interesting! It would have made things easier for us 5 or 10 years ago to have had a looser interpretation of the ‘unique path rule’. Perhaps it was a case of erring on the side of caution, since it's always easier to relax a rule that turns out to have been too strict rather than retrospectively tighten a rule that was too lax.
This would have implications for operational templates, as well as for existing downstream software that consumes the OPTs. Would OPTs generated by the new ADL Designer tool fail validation by existing software? I’m looking forward to a more detailed explanation, if someone knows.
