skos:broader/narrower and skos:related clashes in IVOAT

Rick,

I've just noticed that there are a number of concepts that refer to
another concept as both skos:broader and skos:related (and similarly for
skos:narrower and skos:related). I'm guessing that this isn't desireable.

For example, from "IVOAT Thesaurus - Version Wed Nov 14 18:13:25 2007" we
have

	<skos:Concept rdf:about="#cDGalaxies">
		<skos:broader rdf:resource="#YerkesClassification"/>
		<skos:related rdf:resource="#YerkesClassification"/>
	        .. other elements left out ..
	</skos:Concept>

I've included a full list of such concepts below (although the output is a
bit verbose).

Ta,
Doug
