Hi Benoit,

That quote equates "powered entity's role" with "importance".

This sounds largely useless and subjective.

There seems to be no interest in having standardized "role"
values in the EMAN community (and I'm not sure it's a
tractable problem, anyway).

How about dropping the "importance" terminology entirely
and sticking to "role as an energy consumer"?

Cheers,
- Ira
