Right...

Following the point you cite above, if you make a choice people are going to
copy it, not read the arcane discussion at the end. Personally I really
prefer the style http://my.org/knowlegebase/chemistry/water#concept and I
don't believe that most people will look at it if they are using the lovely
SKOS-aware tools that are coming out. If you had
http://my.org/knowlegebase/chemistry/water#prefTerm and
http://my.org/knowlegebase/chemistry/water#prefTerm-zh the syntax might make
more sense to people anyway, but I don't think it's that important.

But if you really want to be neutral you should mix stuff...

(My preference is that you don't. Based on my personal leanings in this
argument :-)
