Hi Tim I suppose you mean the notation wasGeneratedBy([id],e,[a],[t],[attrs]) instead of wasGeneratedBy(id,e,a,t,attrs). We discussed this with Paolo and we don't feel it's suitable since whenever we write wasGeneratedBy(id,e,a,t,attrs), we mean an instance of the data model. If we want to identify the optional nature of an attribute, we need to look at the grammar, not at an instance. Luc PS. The square brackets around attributes do not mark they are optional, they are part of the syntax.
