This leads to two problems: (a) require defi ne two XML elements, which is tedious and error- prone; (b) require bad "Take It From There" workaround to access an interface from a Node participating in the link. We propose that component is optional. Then each interface can be accessed by an id which must be unique regarding the events of the same type in its container object. We propose a naming convention for identifying interfaces within a Document
