Looking at this a policy question, I could agree that this is a case where people will disagree, and hence where flexible designs are appropriate. Though clearly the folk who don't like flexibility will object! If there are only two policies to support, I like these two; as well as the easy-to-understand metaphor. But aren't there issues like "how far do you bubble down"? Normally I'll think that certain nodes in a given document will be natural spots to bubble down to, even if some decls could get bubbled down even further. - Dave
