Standardized Term Names--cell ontology and GO

[Alexander Diehl]

Michael,

It's always been my intention to try to improve the hematopoietic 
cell types in the cell ontology.  I'm glad to see that we're on our 
way to improving the correspondence between the GO and the cell 
ontology, and look forward to the mailing list as a proper forum for 
further discussions.
