Priority
Modules and Tasks are highest priority — without them, an imported L5X will be missing I/O configuration and task scheduling, making the project non-functional.
RedundancyInfo, Security, SafetyInfo and the others have no children in this project and may just need empty placeholder elements to satisfy the schema.
Notes
Some of this data may live in unparsed files (TagInfo.XML, QuickInfo.XML) or in Comps.Dat records with CIP types not currently handled by the builder.
