I had a few thoughts/questions:
1. If the data element provides information about its parent,
what is the point/meaning/use case for nesting data elements?
2. Since the data element provides information about another
element, I wondered if it made sense to provide some kind
of "idref-ish" attribute on the data element to allow one
to point to the target element. But upon reflection, I'm
not sure it does.
3. I could imagine having similar metadata for multiple elements,
and you might not want to repeat the same information again.
Would the standard conref mechanism allow one to have a data
element that could just refer to another data element?
