What would people think about a structure that had a Munda Biddi master relation, containing only 3 sub-relations: 1. the existing relation containing the main route (including both north & south-bound one-way sections, plus the winter/summer routes) 2. a new "Munda Biddi Collie Spur" relation 3. the existing Munda Biddi Alternate relation (that is presently a sub-relation of the relation containing the main route) containing all the hut spurs, huts etc I note that the hut spurs could perhaps be left in the main relation and tagged with an "excursion" role (rather than dragged-out into a separate relation as they are now). What are the pros and cons of leaving them in the main route and using the excursion role? I suppose one disadvantage would be that sorting the route would show discontinuities ?
