[DDI-SRG] Repeatable LogicalProduct in PhysicalStructure

[Wendy Thomas]

OOPS I' dealing with a deathly slow connection. I meant that the 
LogicalProductReference could be a bit of overkill. The LogicalRecord 
definatately identifies all the logical products from which it pulls 
content (variables and/or ncubes).  The options for 
LogicalProductReference is to remove it or keep as a repeatable element. I 
do not think it is necessary if all it is doing is saying which 
LogicalProduct the LogicalRecord resides in.
