What does this mean?
"- A notation and API for defining attributes and records where a record will be an OpenACS CR ‘record’ object that has child objects that are attributes (in this way AMS can support user defined complex compound data types analogous to the current OpenACS standard for ‘typed’ data in the CR)."

What is an "attribute" in this case?

I think we need some definitions of your use of the terms since we had quite a bit of confusion when we just said "attribute" in the chat just among three people.

Also note, Don and I at least, do want this work to go back into OpenACS so that is one reason we are more interested in the actual design of these features.
