mm1: The difference is that a child can not be run standalone but must 
be in an enclosing choreography. It is not extended from the enclosing 
choreography nor necessarily performed (from another choreography, 
location, etc.) although it could be. Note, one child may be or may not 
be restricted to use in a choreography package (the restriction is a 
constraint rather than evidence of the choreography or choreography 
fragment's construction). An example would be a loan assessor 
choreography that evaluates risk of guaranteeing a customer including a 
credit check.  The loan assessment could be run as a separate 
choreography but in our particular scenario it must be run only in a 
bank loan application choreography because of constraints applied by the 
loan policies.
