Re: proposal: collapse To and From elements

["William J. Kammerer" <wkammerer@foresightcorp.com>]

What if some day you wanted to add internal routing specifications to
either the <From> or <To> specifications, à la RosettaNet's (V2)
optional <locationID> within <PartnerIdentification>?

 <To>
      <Party context="uri">urn:duns:123456789</Party>
       <InternalRouting>Columbus office</InternalRouting>
 </To>

I suppose <InternalRouting> could be made another attribute of the newly
"collapsed" <To> and <From> elements, but...

Also, I've got a gut feel against having different leaf-node elements
which are a whole lot like other elements (even if they're easy enough
to define in a schema).  If and when we ever got Core Component Design
Rules, would the type of collapsing described by Christopher Ferris be
considered pretty?
