Hi Stefan,

I'm confused. Nicolas tells me that there is a significant difference
between the two, and as a programmer I must be able to write things either
way. LibSBML can't do this right now.

Personally, I would rather have the two ways of writing things mean the same
thing so they are interchangeable, but I'm told by the specification and by
Nicolas that this isn't so.

Help! I'm confused :)

Thanks,
Allyson
