Well, how about just eliminating the <Restriction> brackets, which as
far as I can see serve no useful purpose:
<restrictedBy>
<hasValue>
and eliminating </Restriction> at the other end? We know this is a
restriction since it follows <restrictedBy>, so why do we have to say
so again?

But its just as much wasted typing.
