<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The fact that you think you need it here may be due to an incompleteness in the model as I described in my previous email.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It may well be that the structure of the mapping, including explicitly representation of what-is-mapped-to-what, could make the need for an explicit indication of forward vs inverse redundant.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So looking forward to seeing more details of the model (and I can comment on another thread).<u></u><u></u></p>
