Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: Need to clarify what is meant by "RELATED_OBJECTS" -- ObjectRoot has an is_modified method that takes a scope, OBJECT_ONLY, CONTAINED_OBJECTS and RELATED_OBJECTS. Whereas it is clear that OBJECT_ONLY means only attributes on this ObjectRoot and that CONTAINED_OBJECTS includes any changes to objects that this object refers to, it is not clear what RELATED_OBJECTS means.
