Jim, I agree but...
I think that this most people think of this attribute of "Never Married" as being no formal marriage event, not no relationships. Further, even were it to mean No Relationships, unless we have perfect knowledge of the person's life, we would have to say "No KNOWN Relationships" and, of course, that attribute could also mean no known marriages. More fuel to why those attributes need to be split. (I still think those attributes need to be combines with Child Status items as described earlier.) If a man was a sperm donor, he likely has children although he may not know who they are. And, unless one of those children later determines his/her biological paternity, that passing on of genes will never be known. Of course, there is the other case of surrogate motherhood. It can either be based on placing fertilized egg in surrogate or it could be that surrogate mother provides the egg. Did you know that 3 of Mitt Romney's son Tagg's children were from a surrogate mother? Modern science and 21st century laws are making relationships much more complex... :-) john.
