Re: [mb-users] work compilations

At one point I had hoped to extend the defenition of "work (thingies)" 
to include catalogs and collections. They're perfectly suited to it.

Then I started thinking that, hey, rather than implement "series" as an 
entity, we could have a more generic "container" element with types like 
catalog, collection, series.

I still like the second approach, but not enough to mess up the bit of 
momentum that "series" already has.
