Distinguishable Objects of the Same Component 
When a component has a series range, for example, (1:10) or (s), one occurrence 
of that component must be distinguishable from the next occurrence of that same 
component. 
Different data objects of a component are distinguishable if any of the following is 
true: 
♦  The component type is bound. 
♦  The component type is a non-partitioned 
 group with an unbound set that is 
content distinguishable from the component type as a whole. 
♦  The component type is a partitioned 
 group and the unbound set of each 
non-partitioned 
 group in its sub-tree is content-distinguishable from the 
component type as a whole. 
Content-Distinguishable Components 
A component is distinguishable from its following set when the component is: 
♦  Initiator-distinguishable from its following set. 
or 
♦  Content- distinguishable from its following set.
