1: A diagram needs some [UnderTheHood] to allow DiBL to create variants by replacing Stitches. The Flanders template is an example of such a diagram.
2: You either have a thread diagram with a tree or a pair diagram with a tree, not the three in one. The tree view needs annotations to show instructions for lace makers. Diagrams generated from pair traversal won't have these annotations, the stitches usually won't be in any working order anyway. Currently the annotations for pair traversals conflict with the requirements to generate variations. When ungrouping and unlinking clones, the annotations are not adjusted automatically, or not properly adjusted.
