So the TMQL we are working on has no XTM to be used with? Or can we
assume working with XTM 1.1 ?

So what is the relation between type of Topic and type of its baseName?
Can you give an example? Can it be that a topic and the baseName of it
will have different types? or maybe baseName "inherit" the type of the
topic (or the opposite)?

I understood (maybe wrongly?) that a scope of a base name is actually
the scope of the topic. I guess this is the source of confusion I have
with the type for both the topic and its base names.

Those questions probably explain the my problem with 5.2.2.20.
