Hello Christoph,

(without further investigation) it seems to me that handle-System is a
complete
subset of the relational logic. So it should be possible with just a few
axioms to define "schema" for  a handle site consistently within the
handle System itself similiar to Database Schemas in a RDBMS regarding
types, type relations, ... Were there this kind of formal considerations
in the beginning of the systems design? Would be intresting to see it.
