Yes, I understand that. My question was more trivial than that :-)

Why, in an UNITERM, the argument's name is in a sub-element (<Name>), 
whereas the slot key is not?

Why not have, in an UNITERM:
   <slot rif:ordered="yes">
      unicodestring
      TERM
   </slot>

and in a Frame:
   <slot rif:ordered="yes">
      TERM
      TERM
   </slot>

A side question is: if we keep it as it is (that is, the argument names 
in UNITERMs are in <Name> sub-elements, do we still need the content of 
the UNITERM slots to be ordered? That is, do we still need the 
rif:ordered attribute to be "yes"?

Cheers,

Christian
