[MEI-L] How to use <ftrem>

I'm not sure what's the proper way of using <ftrem>. If I want to
encode the last <ftrem> from this image:
http://www.music-encoding.org/pix/tagLibrary/meiTagLibrary2010-05_html_25c82644.png
would I do it like this (assuming it's in treble clef):
<beam>
<ftrem slash="1">
<note pname="f" dur="32" oct="4"/>
<note pname="a" dur="32" oct="4"/>
</ftrem>
</beam>
i.e. this is a pair of properly beamed 32nd notes with an additional
stroke, or like this:
<ftrem slash="4">
<note pname="f" dur="32" oct="4"/>
<note pname="a" dur="32" oct="4"/>
</ftrem>
assuming that slash="4" and @dur="32" imply that we have three beams
and one slash?
Analogously, how would I encode the second <ftrem>:
<beam>
<ftrem slash="2">
<note pname="f" dur="2" oct="4"/>
<note pname="a" dur="2" oct="4"/>
</ftrem>
</beam>
i.e. a pair of "improperly" beamed half notes with an additional
slash? I'm not sure, could there be half note heads with two or more
beams? How do I tell how many beams? Or like this:
<ftrem slash="3">
<note pname="f" dur="2" oct="4"/>
<note pname="a" dur="2" oct="4"/>
</ftrem>
and ftrem/@slash="3" and note/@dur="2" imply that I have one beam and
two slashes? Could there be half notes without beam and only with
slashes? And wouldn't it make sense to have an ftrem/@dur attribute,
analogously to chord/@dur?
It would be great if the images in the documentation could be
supplemented with code examples (did I understand correctly that this
is work in progress?)
Thanks!
