Hmmm...seems to me, while FICTION/NONFICTION is a good way to divide
content neatly into two stacks (probably not very even, tho' :-) ), that
doesn't mean that they should be used within the resource-types. After
all, fiction is not a resource-type, nor is nonfiction. At least, not in
comparison to all of the various kinds of resource-type standards I've seen.
We could always set up some kind of additional attribute. I'm all for
ALIGNMENT--you know, from Role Playing:
GOOD
NEUTRAL
EVIL
:-)
