The package is a concept, the relationship is a concept too. For more about

Or we could just get this right the first time. The namespace chosen should
be able to have "persistent/permanent URLs" (PURLs) defined in it. Redirects
are useful but they shouldn't be used as an excuse for messing up the first
attempt.

Iain.
