RE: Enlightenment via avoiding the T-word

For the sake of this discussion and analogy, yes, I'm treating tables like
elements, and columns like child elements.  And yes, my main point is that
there is no problem telling which <name> is which, because each belongs to a
parent element.

You said it most succinctly here:

David Hunter:  "There is no problem, from the database, telling which "name"
is which, because
each is in it's own table."

Isn't that the same as saying a table is an element?
