Yes.

It would mean the same if you took out the <topic> elements, by the way.

The association is of type "be", whatever that means.

None of these. You get an association item with the topic "be" in its  
[type] property.

See above.

The association is now still of type "be", but you can infer that it's  
also an instance of "relation".
