That is alright :) don't mention it.

I think Jeff has answered it perfectly. It is also my understanding that 
.rnc files only define the syntax. It can be base your messages on just 
them. Jason and Martin know the semantics. Hence at least for complex 
message types, its best to ask them both for their opinion.

Have you had any discussions with Martin and/or Jason about these 
messages at any point in the past?

Loukik.

PS: To be honest, one data element inside another baffled me (it still 
does a little). For me, explaining that concept to somebody would be 
quite difficult.
