Though: 1) Reading back through that section its not really clearly stated. 2) Later work to "fold in" the annotation mappings seems to have completely dropped this unclearly stated point. Essentially what the section is trying to say is that if the child defines an attribute that is the map key (or list index) from the parent collection perspective, the collection can still be inverse (non-owning). which totally makes sense, if you think it through.
