Remarks

When the DirXML engines sends the <parent> element to the DirXML driver in a <move> or <instance> element, the <association> element is included if an association has been established for the parent.

When the DirXML driver sends the <parent> element to the DirXML engine in a <move> or <instance> element, the <parent> element must contain an <association> element.
