Changes ======= In vocabularies (and possibly elsewhere), the connections that are now called xu links and PP links should be renamed to c-links and d-links for {content/constant} link and {directed/dynamic} link.
Say here why these names.My opinion is that 'clink' and 'dlink' are nondescriptive. I think 'content link' is probably a good name; it should then be named 'contentLink,' not 'cLink.' An alternative is 'alphLink'; since this is closely coupled to Alph, 'alphLink' is actually probably better.
Since practically all connections are directed in FF, directed link sounds like a bad name. I suggest Link for the namespace and linkedTo for the property. The -To suggests the direction; the inverse would obviously be linkedFrom, not linkedTo, so the property is directional.
