Hi Jen,

I'm not sure this would work. I think it would result in massive 
rearrangements. The generation of a structure certainly reflects 
morphogenesis more than development, so I don't think we want to confuse 
this. Many of the annotators get confused by morphogenesis, development 
etc, but we have carefully defined these. We also can't do the cell 
development rearrangement, because it would go against what we have been 
explaining to people for years, that is, cell development is a part of 
cell differentiation in GO.

I think it would be easier to separate out developmental formation of 
cellular components (like the formation of a synapse) from ones that 
would be a far stretch to call development (like the formation of a 
pseudopod in an ameba).
