Thanks all. I agree that 'genre' in this case would be a more elegant
express things here. In general I'm not against having simple
low-content types, since both microdata and rdfa offer nice syntactic
support for them. But yes definitely pointing into an IPTC list of
genres, 'comedy' vs 'satire' etc. would be great.

I've just sent around a new ExternalEnumerations doc, see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2012May/0009.html
... maybe we can work through the detail of this for 'genre'? Do you
have the relevant IPTC URLs, ideally some that are well-used in some
public datasets?

cheers,

Dan
