I think the answer should be [B, C] in any case since the assoc and
the topic represent the same thing.

The more I think about the removal of an explicit reifier axis the
more I love this proposal. ;) I think it brings us a step towards your
TMDM-NG proposal [1], at least on the syntax/mental level. You can ask
*any* Topic Maps construct about names, occurrences etc. Lovely. :)
