Without looking at the code, I didn't understand why this is a consequence of the behavior you described above. I thought you said "and if the type has subtypes, it adds those too"? Anyway, I definitely think that this should work. By the definition of subtype, A-subtype *IS A* A. So if an aggregate wants type A produced, then A-subtype should be produced. > An aggregate wants Feature F output, and has a delegate with output > capability type-A with allAnnotatorFeatures marked, having that feature. > We should be supporting this as well. Again I didn't follow why the behavior you described above doesn't do this. -Adam
