The reason for the "optics oddity" is that I wanted Lens to be a class,
not a property.  Why?  Well, because I wanted to be able to talk about a
Lens instance, e.g.,

<Lens rdf:ID="Hasselblad_500V">
    <f-stop>...</f-stop>
    <focal-length>...</focal-length>
</Lens>

I agree that "optics" is a poor choice.  Lens would be great, but then
it wouldn't allow the above.  Suggestions?  /Roger
