Title: RE: [ubl-lcsc] Newest version of the OO-design position paper.



Thanks Gunter.  I 
actually see containers as not only separation for humans, but 
applications/tools as well.  Isn't there alot of value in a tool being able 
to access (for example) all Party information in a document by specifying the 
container element (thereby accessing all of the Party information in one fell 
swoop)?  I see this as a definite plus for applications/tools, especially 
from a performance standpoint.
 
Using XPath examples, 
for instance one could access all Party element groups by specifying the 
container element "PartyDetails":
 
/Header/PartyDetails
 
Or, the first Party 
element group:

 
/Header/PartyDetails[1]




 
Or, the BuyerParty 
element group:


 
/Header/PartyDetails/BuyerParty
 
Accessing 
the entire "PartyDetails" group would allow an application that writes the 
information to a database to cycle through all XParty subelements (where 
X="Buyer", "Seller", etc.), and create database records for each of the XParty 
subelements.
 
So, in 
summary, I believe the containership approach is beneficial not only for human 
consumption but machine consumption as well.  I believe the benefits to the 
containership approach far outweigh any potential 
costs.
 
Kind 
regards,
Joe
