All, This attribute takes a boolean value. It is both: - confusing because it's hard to know which boolean value means to keep non-relevant nodes or to prune them, - and limited because there is more you could do with non-relevant nodes, including blanking them. So I suggest moving from a boolean to using tokens: - `keep`: keep all non-relevant nodes - `blank`: keep non-relevant nodes but blank the value of non-relevant attributes and non-relevant leaf elements - `prune`: prune all non-relevant nodes (A case could be made to allow for the `relevant` MIP to optionally blank nodes during `recalculate` as well. But that could be considered separately.) We could deprecate `false` and `true` on `relevant` and add the 3 tokens above to that attribute. The issue with this is that: relevant="prune" might give the impression that this will prune relevant nodes (which doesn't make much sense). We could also introduce a new attribute, for example `nonrelevant`, which would take precedence over a deprecated `relevant` attribute: nonrelevant="blank" Thoughts welcome. -Erik
