<div dir="ltr">Hello All and Happy New Year,<div><br></div><div>There's been a discussion about how to group together <app> elements in the past (<a href="http://list-archives.org/2012/07/15/mei-l-lists-uni-paderborn-de/more-precise-app-s/f/7456812281">http://list-archives.org/2012/07/15/mei-l-lists-uni-paderborn-de/more-precise-app-s/f/7456812281</a> and <a href="http://list-archives.org/2012/07/23/mei-l-lists-uni-paderborn-de/antw-more-precise-app-s/f/3141983676">http://list-archives.org/2012/07/23/mei-l-lists-uni-paderborn-de/antw-more-precise-app-s/f/3141983676</a>) and I'd like to follow up a bit on the topic. I understand there's been a number of suggestions, one of the last ones being:<br>
</div><div><br></div><div><div><div><app xml:id="a1"/></div><div><app xml:id="a2"/></div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><annot plist="#a1 #a2" type="appGrp"/></span><br>
</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">This seems a very suitable solution to the problem, but here's my question. W</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">ith this practice it's possible to define overlapping groupings:</span></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><div><div><app xml:id="a1"/></div><div><app xml:id="a2"/></div><div><app xml:id="a3"/></div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><annot plist="#a1 #a2" type="appGrp"/></span><br>

<div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>I might be shortsighted, but I cannot think of a much meaningful use case for this scenario. Do you think such encoding should be forbidden/discouraged? Or perhaps someone can pinpoint a meaningful use case?</div>
