Hi Seref, I understood your point. The fact is that this is a change request to the specs, and IMO things like these could be defined on annexes to the specs, in this case something like "if you are implementing things in Java you'll have these problems with generics, so you can do things easier implementing the model this way...". The problem I see is the specs shouldn't be changed for a technology issue, or maybe yes, if we consider the 4 or 5 big technologies out there, but not only one.
My point is: I agree with you no making something to simplify the implementation, I don't agree to do it by changing the model. -- Kind regards, Ing.

That was not my point. Let me try to be more direct: Generics causes problems during implementation of openEHR if Java or XML is involved. Java + XML has a huge user base. Even XML on its own has a huge user base. By making a minor change in OO design options, openEHR can eliminate these problems for everyone using Java and especially XML. This may help openEHR become a spec easier to implement. This is the point I was trying to make.

I mean, this is one of many things we need to consider when we implement openEHR in a certain technology, and if we can write down all those alternatives for each technology, we could have another layer of specifications, the "ITS for Java|Ruby|.Net". E.g. HL7 has ITS specs. Just my 2 cents. -- Kind regards, Ing.
