Hi Peter,

Well, the basic syntax is quite simple. Explained in 5 minutes.

1.) The names of the properties are regurlarly confusing. There are 
properties that have the name of their datatype i.e. stdWrap.
There are properties that don't have the name of their datatype. i.e. 
value, wich is also of stdWrap (and Text). This regurlarly causes 
interferences when trying to get some clear thoughts.

Either all should get the name of their datatype. That doesn't work, for 
different reason. So if I would be a king, I would forbid to use the 
datatype as name.

2.) The second mayor reason for confusion is the different beheaviour of 
copying and linking in TS. A lot of unexpected behaviour resulting from 
this in large Setups. Nothing for normal human beeings. So if I would be 
a king, I would forbid to link TS.

3.) The third mayor reason is the "silence" of wrongly used properties. 
As I stated in my last post, in the thread on validation, I see a way 
for validation. So if I would be a king, I would provide validation.

Regards

Elmar
