(Thinking this through)

Ok, so that's a one-to-many relationship.  Ummm, I'm trying to think
of a good example... one person, many email addresses.  If the person
goes away, their email addresses should, but not vice-versa.  Right.

And a many-to-many relationship would have to be modeled with a link
table, so that's not a problem.

I think that'll work.
