| What we gain is having a term for the trick used to make topics
| represent topic characteristics.

| Why are you calling this a "trick"? 

Because I think it's ugly. I don't see a better way to do it, but I
still don't think it's pretty. (Better than RDF's handling of the same
thing, though.)

| I see this as a useful and powerful feature.

It is.
