I made the argument from my perspective, but I'd like your counter-
argument to be known and clearly understood by the community.  The two
approaches to the use of the MOBY Object ontology are not entirely
interoperable with each other, so it is important for everyone two know
why they might want to chose one philosophy or the other before making a

but you will feel no heat from me either :-)  Only respectful discussion
and (perhaps) disagreement.
