To my eyes, the association looks like a title. Would it not be reasonable
to give relationship an info with a required title instead?

    The original intent/design of the relationships structure was modeled after
Topic Maps:

A topic map represents information using
* topics, representing any concept, from people, countries, and
organizations to software modules, individual files, and events,
* associations, representing hypergraph

    Given that the changes have already been made to the schema, it may well be too late to comment on this.  However, I am a little concerned with the increasing complexity of the markup that may make it more consistent with DocBook (info/title vs. association) but not make it any easier to explain (I am always worried about how to explain things since I end up doing it pretty frequently with new writers).  To me it describes the association of the items contained in the relationship, and while it may be used as a title in some renders, that is not the intent of the markup.

Just my thoughts, and apparently somewhat late.
