Sorry, I think I have understood first Alistair's "We believe the SKOS 
Reference makes no judgment as to the relative importance of the 
different types of relationships." as not really saying that they were 
of equal importance. But of course now that you make me think about it 
twice, my imperfect English can see it :-). The fact is that it's more 
direct than what I would have dared writing myself.
