I think the CRS system proposed by Hugh and Afraz at the last LDOW is
publishing linksets independently? Hugh, would be Void expressible
enough to encompass what you publish?
Although there is still the possibility to consider it as an
independent dataset, having two linksets pointing to the two datasets
being interlinked.
