I'd be very grateful for comments from council members on whether or not
to press ahead with the minor tweak proposed in SF bug #2161974
Text of this bug says: "
The members of att.segLike (cl, c, m, phr, seg, s, w) all inherit their
@type attribute from that class, rather than from att.typed. Consequently
they don't behave like other typed attributes, which inherit this
attribute from att.typed. Thus most of them don't have a @subtype
attribute (except for seg, which adds it explicitly) This seems
confusing and inconsistent. I propose to remove the @type attribute from
att.segLike, remove @subtype from seg, and add all these elements to the
att.typed class.(Another solution might be to make att.segLike a child
of att.typed, but I prefer the more
explicit one suggested here)"
Can anyone suggest a good reason not to do this?
