What is the semantical value of having the mapping lhs public id
and rhs uri, and both sides uri, being called differently? It's
mapping in either event. I do not see that calling uir -> uri
mapping with the name "remapping" really makes semantical sense,
as it is not a case where something has been mapped and is being
mapped again *in this use*.
I believe that it makes better sense for our result to use language
that is semantically straightforward andeasily used by all technicians.
To that end, I propose that calling all mappings with the name "map"
serves our purposes better than having the suggested use of "remap"
appear in our resulting lexicon.

"map" maps public IDs to URIs. "remap" maps URIs to other URIs.
