Any arguments about the string that is at the end of the URI are not quite  
getting the point. None of these terms are more meaningful in Norwegian -  
what matters is how the URIs themselves are labelled.

The real question, IMHO, is whether there should be a class of symbolic  
label which is seperate from teh normal labels, or whether symbols should  
be a subtype of labels, and preferred/alternative symbols should be a  
subtype of the corresponding types of label.

Where would audio labels fit into this, so that you would find them?
