temporal aspects of 'X development' terms

[J Clark]

Hi Tanya,

Yes i think that's what David's saying. I would have thought that either 
could work depending on how we want to represent it.

I find this:

 > [i]leaf development
 > --[i] leaf primordium formation

Less intuitive than

 > [i] leaf development
 > --[p] leaf primordium formation

However it may be simpler to implement. I find it hard to think through 
the implications without doing a worked example right through.
