it's unused in any existing schemata, I think it's better to just get rid of it

<DIV dir=ltr>As they are currently populated, they seem synonymous and so your
suggestion is OK.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>However, I think beer_packaging_style might be better populated with
topics related to different labels on a beer_container. e.g. bottles of
Budweiser have had different labels over the years (<A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4851#Bottle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4851#Bottle</A>).
Commemorative containers may also have seperate topics and would best be
typed as beer_packaging_style.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Also bottles of Grolsch can come in different sizes (450ml, 467ml, 250ml
or 330ml depending on the market <A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grolsch#Bottle_design">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grolsch#Bottle_design</A>).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm not personally aware of any topics which could be currently typed as
beer_packaging_style as per the above description, and so it may still be
justified to delete beer_packaging_style.</DIV>

/food/beer_container and<BR>> /food/beer_packaging_style<BR>><BR>>
It seems to me that /food/beer_container and<BR>>
/food/beer_packaging_style are basically synonymous with each<BR>> other.
Should they be somehow merged, or one of them<BR>> (probably
/beer_packaging_style, as /beer_container is<BR>> populated) be
deprecated/deleted? (or am I missing something<BR>> more subtle
here?)<BR>><BR>> Cheers,<BR>><BR>> Phil<BR>><BR>>
