OK, it is verbose, but ultimately it 
a) allows name-based reasoning about the implied concepts, and
b) it allows to filter them out when presenting concepts for user selection

It works but I still don't quite like it. To me the implied concepts are 
somewhat too similar to taxon name reference with undefined circumscription 
concept as used in almost every specimen identification. It seems that the 
paradigm established here may cause a similar handling on the identifications, 
i.e. as implied concepts - which they certainly are. -- I am looking for a 
shortcut to this in the case of the hierarchy assertions, similar to the 
identification references to "nominal" taxon records. But at the moment I am 
too tied up elsewhere to make any proposals, so lets keep it at that it works.
