FWIW, I think it's as Len said " XML doesn't care, that's why
it scales; XML implementors have to care; that is why they
freak out a lot." XML doesn't care (or provide a specific
way to specify in XML 1.0 itself) whether a hierarchical
containment relationship is "is-a" or "has-a" or whatever.
But the application can apply whatever semantics it wants
to that containment relationship because XML doesn't care.
