I got a comment based on the minutes that it seems like we are
suggesting that people should not use "choice" at all.  I listened to
the recording, and I believe some crucial points were lost:

On page 7:

OLD:

[RS]  if we want to simplify things, we need to remove choice completely.
[MB]  L that is likely a good idea.
[RS]  you need to track which branch gets used. It does not explicitly
      does not show in the tree. And  
      for those who do not like they could not implement it.
[MB]   maybe it is only applicable to very small trees only.

NEW:

[RS]  if we want to simplify things, we need to remove choice
      completely.  I am not proposing that we do this.
[MB]  I agree.
[RS]  you need to track which branch gets used. It does not explicitly
      show in the tree. And  
      for those who do not like they could not implement it.
[MB]  The data model designer needs to use these constructs carefully.
      "choice" is often used in very small trees only.



And to further clarify things, I do *not* think we should make this
"simplification".  "choice" and "when" are both useful.
