And another thing: why did you create the wikirank property in the 
/freebase/emql namespace as opposed to having it augment the /common/topic 
type ? (using the first MQL query for creating an eMQL property in the 
docs).

The /freebase/emql namespace is meant to be used for properties that don't 
relate to any type in particular, like 'average', for example.

The reason I'm asking is not so much to point out something 'wrong' but 
more to get a feeling about how the current eMQL model property model is 
perceived. That model is still in flux and is about to change. Your 
feedback/opinion about its current state could help us in shape the next one 
being worked on right now.
