[webservices] Station web service: to Network, or not to Network?

[Philip Crotwell]

Hi Chad

I think this is what you are saying, but just want to make sure. Do
you mean "All <Station> entries will be contained in a <Network>
element and there will be no duplicate <Network> elements"?

In other words if a stationXML document has two stations that are in
the same real-world network, then the corresponding <Station> elements
will always be contained in a common <Network> element?

thanks,
PHilip
