sasaki: I can't estimate the impact of prohibiting a combination of two 
units, where one (wsp:Optional) does not exist in the policy data model. 
But since you wrote "mabye in v.Next", you seem to agree that such 
considerations need more time and are not on our plate currently?

 >>monica: What this alludes to (given Sergey's query and your response) 
a question I have posed to Dave Orchard: Does the use of Ignorable 
transcend the non-wire boundary of which we defined it particularly 
considering the Versioning example of whcih we agreed? Sergey, I think 
you could be saying, we shouldn't traverse that boundary. And, if we do 
allow that boundary to be traversed, what should we do about it now or 
later? Thanks.
