Issue
There are a number of issues:
- The only thing that really identifies this as an ActReference is the clone class name, violating the rule that Clone Class names don't add semantics.
- It could be argued the fact that since there is no other information in the class, aside from classCode, moodCode, or ID, it must be a reference.
- This doesn't satisfy all reference requirements.
- How do I know how much of the Act and its descendent's are intended to be referenced?
- How do I distinguish different versions of the same object?
- How do I handle "snapshot" references?
