Right.  Not sure if it will migrate exactly ... might have to
augment (or reinvent some parts of) PEAK when I get around to
it.

Yes, that was my perception.  I'm more comfortable modifying
instances at runtime than classes, so I prefer to use (OntoClass)
instances to specify (and make extensible) the persistable
attributes of classes at runtime.  Just a matter of taste, I guess.
