Subject: RE: [emergency] <resourceDesc> (aka Issue #32)
Hey, lets just change the word "typ"e to "kind" and maybe we'll lose
this whole question, eh? We should bear in mind how overloaded the
term "type" is. It depends on what standard or API you are working in
programmatically, and whether you are working to XML or RDF, too.
Just a thought,
Rex
