They're very different!  I was thinking links rather than meaning, e.g.
"green eggs" and "new car" are two very different things meaning-wise, but
they are the same in terms of structure (one simple node linked to by another).
It just seemed that if types of links were to be considered, then there would
be no end of possible interpretations -- the "structural" method seemed the only
way to get a fixed figure.
