| Not necessarily, and in fact it may be beneficial to not have them the |
| same. Although it is conceptually more simple to have them the same, we |
| have chosen to not restrict tooling in this requirement from the |
| beginning, while it may yet become apparent that having them the same is |
| the best approach.</span></font></p> |

| This is again more conceptually simplistic and goes along with the |
| "keep it simple" mindset. However, it is not felt that |
| having separate, decoupled models for mapping, tooling, and generation |
| is a problem (other than the need to maintain them in synch). |
| Again, it may turn out that they are combined to some extent in the end, |
| but to start we will proceed with multiple models, as exists in the |
| Borland prototype.</span></font></p> |
