> We could simplify and clarify a little bit the tree produced by the {{MetadataTreeFormat}} by using two additional rules:
> h3. Use less lines in simple case
> If a property has the same name than the parent property that contains it, we could write its value in that parent property. For example instead of:
> {noformat}
> Citation
>  └─Date
>     ├─Date…………………… 2012/01/01
>     └─Date type …… Creation
> {noformat}
> We could simplify as:
> {noformat}
> Citation
>  └─Date…………………………… 2012/01/01
>     └─Date type …… Creation
> {noformat}
> h3. Tell the sub-type
> If a property has the same name than the value type, and if that value type has sub-type, we could format the actual value sub-type in the tree. For example {{Citation}} as a property named {{party}} of type {{Party}} (ignoring multi-occurrences). But {{Party}} has two sub-types: {{Individual}} and {{Organisation}}. So instead of:
> {noformat}
> Citation
>  └─Cited responsible party
>     └─Party
>        └─Name ……………………………… Jon Smith
> {noformat}
> It would be helpful to format:
> {noformat}
> Citation
>  └─Cited responsible party
>     └─Individual
>        └─Name ……………………………… Jon Smith
> {noformat}
