Re: "state" and "protocol" structures are mandatory, when defined?


Hi Alessandro,
items cardinality matches {0..*; unordered} is referred to "items" 
elements,
not to "protocol" element

This means we can have something like this:
<observation>
<data>
...
</data>
<protocol archetype_node_id="at0011" xsi:type="ITEM_TREE">
    <name>
        <value>*List(en)</value>
    </name>
</protocol>
<observation>

Is the section 
<protocol archetype_node_id="at0011" xsi:type="ITEM_TREE">
    <name>
        <value>*List(en)</value>
    </name>
</protocol>
mandatory, even if it doesn't have any items?
Looking at the archetype defintion, so it seems!
