Summary0000036: Need to Restrict Subtyping on Fundemental Reference Types
Description

Trying to walk a node type to find the subtypes/supertypes get complicated if subtypes of the HasSubtype reference are allowed. The HasSubtype reference should be sealed (i.e. do not allow subtypes).

A 'sealed' attribute on types would allow applications to optimize browses and queries since they will know that certain types cannot have subtypes.

Servers are able to impose this retriction if they choose - no need to change the spec. Clients and aggregating servers can collapse the hierarchy if they choose.
