I do not believe that putting more conceptual weight into the system 
(e.g. by introducing a 'semantic direction' on top of the 'view 
direction') is easier. Especially since all these are offers-- you don't 
have to learn about all possible link types at ANY point, any more than 
you have to learn about all possible dimensions (you can't, even).
