The use of the term "scope" is itself innappropriate for the current system.
If you want a hierarchical data structuring mechanism then you want
something altogether different. This difference is not a simple matter of
"property scope" - you will have to toss a number of features of the current
system. Maybe that meets your needs, but it is a huge change. Better to
begin a whole new set of standards with clearly expressed goals, I would
say... the differences are to the core of the current standards.
