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 :-) cheers Chaals
