mm1:  Here are some guiding thoughts from the CCSD primer.  I think this 
begs more discussion on what the answer to the question above is.

......Multiple qualifier terms can be placed before an object class term 
or property term. Each qualifier term is separated by an underscore and 
a space character.

.........A different sequence of qualifier terms does not make the 
dictionary entry name unique. For example *Stored_ Partial_ Goods. 
Details* and *Partial_ Stored_ Goods. Details* consist of the same 
qualifier terms, but in a different order. The two expressions do have 
different semantics, but that does not make them unique.

I've cc: this email to Fred vanB. to see what he suggests.
Thanks.
