... and it would be one more argument why we shouldn't introduce a
"type" axis for assocs/roles/occs/names and a "types" axis for topics
(the plural term vs. singular term issue). Singular terms (even if
they return multiple results) would work for topics and every Topic
Maps construct != topic.

TMDM/TMAPI addicts may disagree, though.

Best regards,
Lars
