Don't have any good answer to this one. Henrik?

Could be.

Well, I think there have been some discussion on this but with no real
conclusion.
The concepts could map differently but in most cases they would probably
map very
similarly and do we then really NEED both?

It might become a little bit complicated if we have both concepts. I
don't think most
other languages (those I know) have more than one way of grouping
classes.

Nothing is too late! And we can always change stuff later too! That is
actually something
we should note - even though we don't all agree with ALL the details
right now it would
perhaps be better if we just "accepted" Henrik's model for now - get it
up on the road and THEN
we can tweak the living daylite out of it if we decide too. :-)

But discussions are always ok - we all learn something from them.
