Cool.  Perhaps we have been at cross purposes.

You are right!  I had misunderstood your comments and misread the edit as a
proposal to remove the notion of WordSense.  Sorry.

I've made a note in my working copy.

Hmm.  I'm not sure words are encoding in a namespace.  Then are you thinking
in terms of searching for words using URLs e.g. wn-en:word/cat?  How would
you encode an RDQL query saying find me all the english words in a synset?
This would require a wild card query on URIs.  How would one handle
relations between languages.  Is "cat" in American english the same thing as
"cat" in British English?
