I want to annotate that a gene product is involved in the process of 
moving cilia.  GO has the term 'ciliary or flagellar motility', but this 
term appears to pertain to organismal locomotion resulting from movement 
of these structures rather than movement of the structures themselves.  
Anyone have any thoughts about that?  Maybe a new term is needed, though 
the motion of the cilia and flagella is pretty fundamental.  Hard to 
believe it isn't in the GO somewhere..
