I must object to this suggestion, as it makes it extremely difficult to
assign multilingual identifiers to a topic. No single language should be
privileged in naming topics. Treating different languages as variants does
not help: it tends to reinforce the single language concept bacause it means
that merging can only take place when topics have been described in the same
language (in my view a highly undesirable feature). We need to ensure that
topic maps in different languages can be merged as far as possible. Only by
allowing multiple baseNames for a topic will this be possible. (But we must
always remember that there are some names that work for many languages!)
