I've been doing some thinking about this, and to my untrained eye these restrictions do not seem to be a requirement of the lock-free structure.

That is to say, they need not be atomic anyhow, so why does it matter if they are trivial or not?

The question goes to making the data structures more globally useful.  The more structures they can be used with, the better they are (at least in my opinion).

Thanks,

Dan
