LOL. And I just suggested putting @term in the content.
My reasoning goes like this, the @term is the *real* data, in the
case of using an existing schema, this the key into that schema.
The @label is just a human readable name that may have no
meaning beyond that one site. For example I will point out
Mark Pilgrim's category labels which include:
# Those that have just broken a flower vase
# Those that resemble flies from a distance
# Those that tremble as if they were mad
