[annotation] cilium movement vs.ciliary motility

[David Hill]

I think you are correct that these terms describe the cell's motility. I 
think that this term could have 2 is_a children called ciliary motility 
and flagellar motility and then in turn these would have parts that 
describe the movement of an individual cilium or flagellum. These 
children would also include processes for things like control of 
coordination and direction. Note also that the current term does not 
include a stationary cell such as a ciliated epithelial cell since it 
has a 'localization of cell' parent. So, in this case perhaps we should 
have a genric term called 'cilium movement' and a specific child for 
'cilium movement involved in ciliary motlity'. What do you think Doug?
