[Yaml-core] Types and Transfers and Families

[Brian I. <in...@tt...>]

Could somebody (Oren) please explain to me the current wisdom on the exact
meaning and relationships of the following terms:

   - Type Family
   - Transfer Method

Do we need the word "family" at all. It doesn't make sense to me. I've been
musing about the term "type transfer". As in "type transfer URI". 

As far as I can see, family doesn't hold any more impact than banana. As in
this translation:

    While type bananas are preserved in all the data monkeys, the native
    monkey may do so by implicitly associating a specific type banana
    with certain native types.

...has a nice jungle feel.

Um, anyway, could someone lend me a hand?

Cheers, Brian
