Re: updates to PAQ doc for discussion

Yes, what i had in mind is "ComplementaryCharacterizationOf", which may 
be too long.
I also guess I was using the previous definition that specify that a 
"Bob is a characterized entity", instead of the current definition which 
define an "entity as a characterized thing".

But if Bob is an entity as we currently have agreement on, complement seems to be the wrong word - there aren't complementary entities involved. "ComplementaryCharacterizationOf' would bring back the meaning as you've described above, but that gets long relative to ViewOf ...
