Not surprisingly, I tend to work with my own encoding (see the Comparing Object Encodings paper), which starts out simpler than theirs and has a clear, well understood, semantics.

I'm all for a simple model, and I believe that the copy and concatenate model is rather simple, but we don't have a semantics for it.
