yes, I know it is risky. I wanted to write this convention to the wiki
some time ago, but then a discussion on talk-de started, why it could
be more "natural"/"logical" to do it the other way round, and in the
end no conclusion could be achieved. It is just a convention, all
architects know about it. It has IMHO nothing to do with logics or
nature.

cheers,
Martin
