Sure, in your example this is a viable alternative, but it is not clear what you would gain through that. For one, in the case of "otn-topology", the fact that the same topology is also an ietf-te-topology is rather implicit, not explicit. Per Robert's point, if for some reason you have multiple traits and want to "compose" a network to encompass multiple types, this is straightforward to do with the current pattern, not so straightforward with identities. > Alex, can you further detail why a hierarchy of containers is more straightforward in some cases than a hierarchy of identities? /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/>
