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

Thanks Alessandro,
yes you are right, generally protocol is optional in RM, but I'm 
wondering
if it becomes mandatory when defined in the archetype.
ADL doesn't explicit the occurrences of protocol (I imagine the default 
is
0..1), but in XML representation of the archetype I find
...
<attributes xsi:type="C_SINGLE_ATTRIBUTE">
      <existence>
        <lower_unbounded>false</lower_unbounded>
        <upper_unbounded>false</upper_unbounded>
        <lower>1</lower>
        <upper>1</upper>
      </existence>
      <rm_attribute_name>protocol</rm_attribute_name>
      <children xsi:type="C_COMPLEX_OBJECT">
        <rm_type_name>ITEM_TREE</rm_type_name>
        <occurrences>
          <upper_included>true</upper_included>
          <lower_included>true</lower_included>
          <upper_unbounded>false</upper_unbounded>
          <lower_unbounded>false</lower_unbounded>
          <upper>1</upper>
          <lower>1</lower>
        </occurrences>
        <node_id>at0011</node_id>
...

where lower occurences number is 1 and not 0! Maybe is the XML 
serialization
wrong!?
