Right, but we don't want delude people into believing that it serves any purpose beyond helping humans see the hierarchy. How and implementation treats the URI is a matter for the implementation (in the case of BONDI, hierarchy indicated by slashes instead of dots might be significant, or it might not... I don't know.). Having said that, I've changed it to a slash to avoid any further confusion. Kind regards, Marcos
