This looks to me like the composition vs aggregation models we've talked 
about. Per our decision in Lyon our spec is to support composition because 
this is the only model that requires special treatment by the server. I 
would expect the same to be true for containers within containers if we 
were to support that.
Some expressed interest in defining a standard way of doing aggregation. 
Once a proposal is made we can see how this would apply to containers 
within containers.
