Thanks. It would be great if you could move the two types for me.

As Jason said, I would be interested to know what's going on under the  
hood.
* Is there an understandable sequence of MQL writes involved?

Some questions, after the move:

* Will the old types still appear as types in the Freebase.com client?

* What type will MQL return? for example, I would expect
{
   "query" : {
     "id" : "/topic/en/t_s_eliot",
     "type" : []
   }
}
to include: "/user/mikelove/influence/influence_node",
but to no longer include: "/user/mikelove/default_domain/ 
influence_node",

* Will old applications still work? For example will this query still  
succeed?
{
   "query" : {
     "id" : "/topic/en/t_s_eliot",
     "type" : "/user/mikelove/default_domain/influence_node"
   }
}

thanks,
