I agree with that; I just wanted to point out that "a parent document" is not necessarily going to convince people that it includes any *ancestor*. It appears the use of "up" in CMIS therefore is incorrect and needs to be replaced by something else (now including the Atom mailing list). > Is it important that we clarify this?

In general this shows that it's dangerous to register relations minted by somebody else (HTML5) when that spec isn't yet stable. BR, Julian
