I see your point. Maybe it does make sense to have the leaf node both host the access and the constraint like property. I think my main ocncern was to deal with all those optionally null values to detect what the node is actually about.

That being said, if I had to do it again, I'd change that to create intermediary nodes in BV 1.0. But we can't change history.
