So, our options are:
Option 0: Ignore incertae sedis this time, may be documented our
recoginition though.
Option 1a: Add incertae sedis as to rlationship type enumeration. It
may require data providers to create a dummy data say "Life". We
shall see.
Option 1b: Add incertae sedis as to rlationship type enumeration, and
allow minOccur=0.
Option 2: Add incertae sedis as a subtype of "is parent of" and "is
child of". It could be non-minor modification.
Any other suggestions?
BTW, I'm unhappy with "is parent of" name because parent is also used
for hybrids. Member of/has member could be alternative because the
word member is used in documentation.
Cheers,
JMS
