So should the EDTODO automatically transfer to this or do we
need further discussion? Jonathan?

Where in the spec say how these things are spsed to be combined? Without
that its hard to say what to do if what's being combined has different
@required values. If you look at the features property of binding
for example it doesn't say anything about having to compose the
properties. What should it say?

Given there's no assigned task to put this in I won't do it.
