[sc34wg3] CTM ? semantics

[Graham Moore]

This is the example in the spec...

# A topic with a unique, randomly created item identifier. Within the
CTM
# document it is not possible to reference this topic by item
identifier.
? - "A topic"

# A topic with a unique, randomly created item identifier which may be
# referenced again within the CTM document.
?foo - "A new, unique topic"

# Another reference to the same topic later in the document
?foo isa subject


In templates you often want to create a new topic, and use it locally
without giving it a subject identifier. Can we have that behaviour back
please?

If not maybe a include a GUID function so we can create unique
identifiers ;)

Yes. This seems better.

On a second thought I see that all further constraints are strictly
boolean. So maybe we should make these boolean too:

  not ( uniq ( // tm:association >> roles ) -- // tmcl:roleTypes )

This becomes 'trueish' if there is nothing inside the (). Similar for
the other constraints which flag topics to be for used only in a
certain way.
