Right - I was mostly thinking about (semi-)automatic parsing again. Is there a limit to how high the factors can be and/or which ones can/must be present? 

With a schema, I think it will be super-easy to require that an element contains a series of other elements with tag “q”, and an attribute “order” that must be a unique integer - it might even be possible to require that they start from 0 and must be continuous.

Alternatively, we probably need to set a limit that we can have e.g. q0 through q5.

“If everything else fails, read the documentation.” 

My bad - I’ll have a go at that :-)

Cheers,
