It's an OK feature that I'd use if it could be made to work -thanks!

To take a less childish example, Yoren is not considered an "Educated
Person" only and until Yoren possesses an attribute that indicates an
adequate level of schooling... get it now? To point to mandatory
fields as a viable alternative is to ignore that a "mandatory field"
in an SF form has the SAME EFFECT as specifying a "mandatory class"
for the page.

I'd agree that this approach is not "conventional" from a perspective
of single inheritance, but the RDF is designed specifically for
multiple inheritance, envisioning exactly what I am doing; and SMW
certainly accommodates multiple inheritance, and I thought that SF
would also. Odd or not, my friend, it's what I am doing, with good
results so far, so it'd be kinda nice if you could appreciate more a
developer creating a sophisticated model who really wants to showcase
SF technology.

Well I don't understand why you'd want to ignore all but one blank
value -- they should ALL be ignored, at the developer's option of
course (via no-null-call). And is this a serious problem? I''ve given
two serious reasons why it's a serious problem IMHO: user confusion
and wasteful processing.
