From an earlier comment of mine on the topic
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200012/msg00609.html
"Like it or not, there are many more useful classification relationships
than just interface inheritance and implementation-sharing. There are
aggregation, interface inheritance, implementation inheritance,
delegation, environmental acquisition, and others that I can't remember
off-head."
There is also subtyping to dig anouther one out of my head. And those are
just classification relationships, one small niche of relationships
overall.
