Hi Nico,

From my perspective the XMLNode approach would be more suitable,
because I intended the user objects really as a way to temporarily
associate SBML objects with additional data objects that will neither be
written to an XML file, nor will originate from such a file. Hence, I
would prefer to have two separate items for both cases.

Cheers
Andreas
