[sc34wg3] CTM: Realistic use cases or toy examples?

Hi Steve,

Optimal readability is warranted. Where is the difference between
(again, assuming that {} is replaced by .):

    o:John_Lennon
    isa person
    works-for(The-Beatles)
    o:homepage: <http://...> .

and
    o:John_Lennon
    isa person;
    works-for(The-Beatles);
    o:homepage <http://...> .

I do not understand why the semicolon adds a value. Really. If you
want to write cryptic topic maps, the semicolon does not change
anything.

> concern. That, at least, was the Working Group's position at the
> Kyoto meeting.

Please stop degrading me to a programmer, I am still a person / human.
;)

Best regards,
Lars
