Dear IP members,

First of all, I appreciate Wang Wei san for asking those questions.

All, here is my take on this, you will see that it agrees in the essentials with what Wil and Nicholas have been saying.

...

1) Terminology for “variant subtype”

(4) Variant type, variant subtype Variant type is an attribute of a variant, which indicates the treatment of the variant in WLE.

There are three _default_ variant types. These are

(a) allocatable, (b) blocked and (c) out of repertoire var.

Each GP may decide to define and use a set of types that is more differentiated than the default types, so that fewer combinations of these types lead to an allocatable label. Such GP-defined types have been called "subtypes" in the existing documentation, not because of a hierarchical relation to types, or any limitations, but because in the most common scenario they would be used _instead_ of the default type of "allocatable".

For example, CGP defines (i) simp, (ii) trad and (iii) both variant subtypes. Each variant subtype has to have one or more corresponding <action> element in WLE.

The outcome of each <action> is the disposition for the label, and can have the three values: allocatable, blocked and invalid. GPs cannot define any other values for the label disposition. A./
