As one use case - my tools to generate optimised code from a CellML model
are currently 1.0 only, which isn't likely to change in the near future.
So a flattening method such as the above would be useful. In this
instance though, preserving metadata apart from metadata about the model
as a whole would be pointless, at least at present, since the model
structure is modified fairly drastically without regard to metadata.
