[dsdl-comment] Re: Are these two NVDL documents equivalent? (nested mode versus independent modes)

Hi Roger,

They are equivalent.
You can specify the mode to be used further by an action either with the
useMode attribute or with a nested mode element. If no mode usage is
specified the same mode will be used.

Regards,
George
