No doubt when you;ve had time to read more carefully, and caught up on 
the discussion a bit, all will become clear. Tho similar, the wrapper 
elements are not identical.

It isn't on the handNote wrapper. It's only on handDesc.

You can't combine the two elements without deciding which module to put 
them in, and they are needed by both. You could put a single grouping

that for a while, before deciding that that would just annoy both sets 
of potential users.
