Given:
    Children of topics are tmdm:occurrence and tmdm:name

    topic/child::* = c for c in (topic.getOccurrences() |
                                 topic.getNames())

How do we satisfy:

    topic/occurrences
    
or
    
    topic/names

?

Wouldn't it be much more logical if we mandate

    topic/occurrence which means topic/child::*[.isa occurrence]

or

    topic/name which means topic/child::*[.isa name]

and 

    topic/homepage which means topic/child::*[.isa homepage 
                                              and 
                                              .isa occurrence 
                                              and .isa name]

My problem with the current approach: Some think that Toma works 
(it does not) and some think that TMAPI works (it does not).

Best regards,
Lars
