Yes, it is an in joke. My post was laden with irony - exasperation
after relentless arguments with MV types that describing the RM as flat
was nonsense. MV, or attribute nesting, necessarily produce a network
or hierarchical structure, and that results in navigational issues and
ultimately query bias. (I hope that eases your distress.)
