So how is a shot made to define a wall, i.e. a 'Ray', any different than a
normal shot? It seems a shot is a shot, it is just that if you did have many
shots because either you were in a big room and your team actually walked the
tape around, or you used some trick equipment that provided a bounty of shots to
various spots on the wall. I think I'd want to be able to separate the main
survey line from the rest without too much work. I'd say they are all shots. It
is just that some attribute somewhere happens to mark these extra shots as extra
in some way. Note I'd optionally mark the extra shots, so that a simple survey
with no splay shots doesn't require any special markings.

I guess I might be getting ahead of the plan, because I'm already thinking how
to organize the data instead of just letting the list of entities grow. Splay
shots should definitely be considered when designing any CaveXML data structure.

Have fun,
-Paul
