Conventions apply to *entities*. See 6.3.1(2/1): "a convention can be 
specified for an entity". Views like a partial view is *of* an entity, not 
an entity itself. Thus there is only a single convention for a type. Where 
it is specified doesn't matter outside of Legality Rules. Thus the rules in 
B.1 only need to talk about types, not views.

I just had this argument about "entity" with other ARG members vis-a-vis a 
different topic (I lost :-), so I'm very certain this is correct.
