	Thanks for that :-)

	True :-) and initially I had more of this approach, the problem with
that is that the 'open' method has to handle both the 'types' stuff
(which has to nest) and the XML 'services' stuff which can be flattened.
Since we instantiate a SimpleRegistry and then call 'open' - and only
then can we detect that we in fact needed a nested registry for a
directory full of type rdbs ;-) this means we need to keep the directory
semantic at the higher level (which became obvious when vba stopped
working since oovbaapi.rdb was not loaded correctly ;-)

	That's right; it's an extraneous left-over from my previous approach
which did indeed bust the create mode ;-)

	Yep, again a victim of some later re-factoring ;-)

	Lovely - thanks ! :-)
