What it deliberately leaves out is object identity, because a panel that reuses its pooled rows and one that rebuilt them are the same panel as far as the contract is concerned — the whole point of pooling is that nobody downstream can tell. What it deliberately includes is hidden, because a pooled row that is not showing is exactly how a panel shrinks, and two trees differing only there are showing different things.
