 Thanks Thomas. I will resume the reasoning that brought us here:
 in some cases templates will also be shared together with
 archetypes, then, in my opinion, they should not incorporate GUI
 related stuff and be only about data constraints.

I would regard this as a base assumption, and a clear separation of 
concerns.

GUI-directives/hints again (Was: Developing usable GUIs)

2010-12-05 Thread Tim Cook
Hi Tom,

 The current design of ADL 1.5 is that template ids will be declared in
 the data (since they are just like archetype ids) - see

 So it is really about the mechanisms for sharing archetypes and
 templates. If specific templates are made available for sharing, then
 they will be used, just like archetypes. If locally produced
 specialised archetypes are made available for sharing, the same for
 them; otherwise the receiver system has to revert back to whatever
 archetypes and templates it can access.

...

 Archetypes contain slots; templates fill them and remove unwanted
 archetype data points (generally most of them in any given template).
 It is a matter for discussion whether templates should ever be allowed
 to add new data points the way an archetype can. 

Thanks for these clarifications.  They are *very* important points to
consider.

IMHO, if templates are permitted to add to the constraints published by
an archetype then it changes the basic design paradigm.  

Something to consider very seriously.

Regards,
Tim
