| I guess my key question for the author of this model is why he chose
| the particular structure he did. As far as I can tell, almost any
| underlying structure would have served the purpose, since it is the
| operations that do the job. To put it another way, couldn't the
| exact same set of operations have been used on a quad model? Or on
| some third model?

| that is exactly the point I am trying to make. Without some
| requirements, the choice of the underlying model is arbitrary.

That's a different point, actually. What I was noting was that despite
having a different model Robert actually had very nearly the same
operations as me. Robert and I actually have our requirements: we need
to support the TMQL specification.
