Although the question was addressed to Juggy, I'll chime in too. If by "not
sufficient" you mean "we need it but it isn't enough so we need other stuff
as well" then I disagree. If by "not sufficient" you mean not helpful,
appropriate, useful, etc. then I do agree. Having hierarchical structures
that encode hundreds of different data points for myriads of different
instances, all without an explanation of what the hierarchy means (except
perhaps an ordered list of elements that are not really strictly ordered in
terms of semantics) is downright scary. Nobody is going to be able to
manage any significant policy with that kind of policy model, IMNSHO.
