RE: AIN, NOBI and composition

> AIN Closed flavour: Any assertion not in an alternative should not be applied (revised chris proposal)

Chris' revised proposal doesn't say anything about the absence of assertions.  It simply says that no behaviors are to be applied for the alternative other than the behaviors specified by the assertions in the alternative.

Well, I think we need to have clear wording for all the "alternatives"
before the working group.

The way I see it:
AIN Vocabulary flavour: Any assertion not in a vocabulary should not be
applied (Original chris proposal)
AIN Closed favour: Any assertion not in an alternative should not be
applied (revised chris proposal)
AIN Removal: Any assertion not in alternative means nothing.  It may or
may not be applied.

Cheers,
Dave
