Bert, Erik, Greg...
I think the schema should not disallow the 'excluded' presence in NODES
table where op_depth > 0 (which corresponds roughly to old
WORKING_NODE). There are already 'copy' cases where it is used, and
seems useful and right.
I also think the schema should not disallow 'absent'. We have already
talked about how, if you allow a sub-tree copy (for example) to have a
child that is 'absent' (unauthorized), you won't be able to commit that
copy. But I don't think that means that the schema should forbid ever
representing such a case. I think if we forbid it at this level we
would possibly be making the rules more complex than they need to be and
would possibly run into problems later when we might find that actually
there are good cases to be made for representing such a state.
So I think we should simplify the NODES table doc string as follows:
