The declined

What was raised and not acted on.

The part

What it is

With the reason. This is the part that makes the rest believable and the part usually omitted.

It also prevents the same suggestion arriving repeatedly from people who assume it was never considered.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
