You are correct in both cases. The spec talks about child lists of Entity and EntityReference being same but it does not say what the children's parents are suppose to be. >I want to implement Entity and EntityReference as "Entity has expanded entity >as its children and EntityReference dosen't have children only have entity name". > >Is this way illegal? As far as I know, yes. Navigation code must check for EntityReference node type if it is assuming getParentNode to work correctly. Don
