Sounds good. I personally need more time to play with typed links in a
real system before I can make a coherent proposal. A while back, I asked
Doug how his team used typed links in Augment. He said that,
unfortunately, his team did not spend much time experimenting with typed
links, but that they are one of the more interesting candidates for
evolution.
