Dear Ian, I have not seen any of the editor authors reply to you yet about their editor capabilities, but to respond to you on the principle, I would favour the use of the Cluster as the starting node to contain the three Elements since
a) the Evidence is itself not a complete Entry, but complementary to the main data for which it is the evidence b) it is ideally something that could be used my many different Entry archetypes However, your three Elements might not be enough to be the most perfect generic meet-all-needs evidence data structure. Maybe such a thing ought not to exist, and several different kinds of evidence structure are needed for different scenarios. All this means for now is to request that, when you design this Cluster archetype, you are as clear as you can be in the description about the kinds of Entry for which you believe it is a well-tailored evidence structure (e.g. if meant only for lab data). Other potential users can then critique it (if you ask them) with that particular scope in mind rather than any other scope for evidence, and later down the line others will be better able to tell if it might also meet their needs. More specifically, though, from your e-mail I could not tell if your notion of evidence is what I would call the clinical indication, other relevant clinical background, or the justification for the test (which might be supplementary to the indication). I don't need to know, but this is the kind of clarification that will help others to critique/reuse it.
