I agree that these specialized vocabularies neet to be split off and
left to the responsibility of the pundits at some point, but we're
still at the point of deciding what to do with a vocabulary - any
vocabulary - once you've got one, so being able to use the proto-type
IVOA thesaurus in a solar physics sand-box mode would be helpful.
