Child names aren't necessarily unique. Child indices would generally work. I don't know the original justification off the top of my head, but type IDs as separate from indices would let you subset or rearrange a union without rewriting the type IDs array. In practice I don't think I've ever run into a case where type IDs != indices. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
