Personally, I wouldn't require this, and allow viewOf(a,a). But I think it's more a matter of style than fundamental importance. > I agree with both parts of this observation. As I should have said in the earlier email, I am trying to interpret what is in the 2WD and (for viewOf and foobar) the current ED as literally as I can. The current ED says that viewOf is antisymmetric, which requires that it be interpreted in a way that rules out viewOf(a,a). I will review the email discussion of the new relations also to see if there is anything that should be reflected in the draft. --James -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
