The question then is > AXIS -- No? > [snip] If the truth be known, what I really think about AXIS is that it is just CLASS under another name and can be dropped. I don't see enforceable semantics above and beyond CLASS that goes with calling a name or string an AXIS. If you had an AXIS one-word term, it would be a legal and appropriate use of CLASS. I think that our best deal is to go forward with a free-for-all of one-word class designators and when we hit a collision we disambiguate the term by a LINK tying the element holding an ambiguous CLASS term to a lexicon resource in which the correct definition of that CLASS term is given. And, as I said before, the CLASS attribute should be just short keys to the classes and long forms are dictionary business. -- Al
