| Despite the danger to provoke religious wars, I'd say that there is

| class of an occurrence. 

I agree completely. I also agree with the rest of what you say.

| I think hat it would also be a good idea to make the identity of the
| subjects that your topics represent more explicit, either by using
| subjectIndicators as developed by the OASIS GeoLang TC for example,
| 
|  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/geolang/
 
These subject identifiers (URIs) are not yet decided on, so in the
meantime I would recommend using the old PSIs published with XTM 1.0,
since the GeoLang PSIs will have mappings back to those indicators.
(This just FYI. Thanks for the publicity, BTW.)
