[topicmapmail] Occurrence resource naming

[Knud Möller]

Hi Alastair,

I havn't done much topic mapping lately, but can you not reify the 
occurrence and tell your application to display that topic's basename 
instead? Something along the following lines:

<topic id="reifiedOccurrence">
	<subjectIdentity>
		<resourceRef xlink:href="#googleStressSearch"/>
	</subjectIdentity>
	<baseName>
		<baseNameString>'Stress' from Google</baseNameString>
  	</baseName>
</topic>

As far as I can see the XTM specification doesn't allow to specify 
basenames for occurences directly.

Cheers,
Knud
