Glen - You have taken good humored sarcasm (Snark*) to "the next level" (another modern idiom I am just coming to recognize) here. It feels like you've captured FriAM-at-large pretty well here... or at least the arc of our discussions-of-late. Not only the discussions, but to some extent the "nut" of some of them.
Your spoof of an idea to ontologize the fruits of our discussions and the metaphorize them across domain-specific ontologies comes way too close to at least one holy grail of a project or two I've worked on (thus my references to a "Faceted Ontology". I'm not saying your snark is empty, nor that the holy grail I refer to was entirely unachievable, mostly just appreciating how well you nailed it here, and perhaps (en caricature?) captured some of what Nick has been wishing and hoping for...
