ISSUE #18	REF: 1.14.2.1.6	Assembly Model

AP203 requires a specific revision of an assembly specification to
refer to specific revisions of the component parts. This structure
model is intractable in a concurrent engineering work-in-progress
environment, because all the parts of an assembly are undergoing
simultaneous rapid versioning in each aspect of their descriptions. 

This is a very important point and this discussion needs to be tied to
the product's status within an organization's life cycle model.

[Rapid prototyping occurs at early stages of a new product's
lifecycle; wouldn't expect it to occur for a mature product.]
