+                    The JSR 170 spec and the current public-review-draft of the JSR 283 spec (4.7.7) leave it up to the
+                    implementation whether e.g. the orderable child nodes setting is inherited from supertypes.
+                    Inheritance semantics, especially with multiple inheritance, are non-trivial at best and up to a
+                    certain degree arbitrary. Jackrabbit therefore, in compliance with the spec, doesn't support
+                    inheritance of node type attributes such as orderable.
