&Hi Tim,
&
&The scope comparison is just on a set membership basis. i.e.
&you will only
&get a positive if there is an overlap between the topics in
&the scope you
&are testing against and the topics in the scope you are
&testing with. The
&comparison does not take account of class-instance or
&subclass-superclass
&relationships. While this is in line with the XTM
&specification (and the
&way that scope is used there), I think I can see why you might
&want to use
&a class-instance relationship (to say something like "if name
&is scoped by
&a language then...") - but to do that I think you will either have to
&a) Create a myScope that contains all the instances of TopicB
&b) Write your own test
&
&My guess is that in the general case, (b) is preferable to (a).
&
&Cheers,
&
&Kal
