Ah, that sounds good.

OK. Unless Shimuzu San comes up with strong arugments to the contrary, 
allOf, oneOf and not stay.

Frequency modifiers are definitely not ICRA-specific. If they don't fit 
comfortably in (2) then we'd need a (4) rather than putting it in (3) 
(politics comes into this...)

One more thing.

Once we have settled these issues - and I think we're 99% there subject to 
further comment from this list - we'll be starting to build some tools and 
begin some implementation. But, we know that Quatro needs to add in some 
terms to aid in building trust like URLs of databases, hashes, signatures 
etc. My assumption - and because it is an assumption I need to check this - 
that we will be able to add such terms without affecting the existing ones. 
i.e. version 1.1 will backwards compatoible with version 1.0. A valid 
assumption?
