If you recall, the compile method for results specifications augments
the set of types/features by doing 2 things: if the type has

the type has subtypes, it adds those too, propagating the
allAnnotatorFeatures processing down.
A consequence would be that the mFlowTable would miss these cases:
An aggregate wants type A output, and has a delegate with output
capability A-subtype.
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.
Why should an ae or a flow produce A-subtype when only A is required?
