Dear Norbert,
  Datatypes of the kind you mentioned have been handled for a couple
of years by the HOL90 contrib library nested_rec.  The underlying
principle was discussed briefly at the end of my HUG93 paper.  I have
been out of commission (and really will continue to be for some time)
so I have not had the opportunity of looking at your paper.
