So is the <factory> datastore conceptually copied into <startup> and
then you restart or is the the <factory> datastore conceptually copied
into <running>? Yes, <startup> is not mandatory to have, so there may
be multiple conceptual flows that are possible. I think it will be
helpful to be clear about the conceptual dataflow between the
datastores - and once this is clear, it should be relatively easy to
define the operations that are necessary.
