Adding new terms to BEL default namespace about bep HOT 3 OPEN

For now until the BEP to extract these from the BEL Specs is written and approved and implemented, I'd recommend that these BEP default namespaces are patch releases and can be expedited - e.g. this Acylation addition would be a 2.1.1 release target.

Might we make a repository that has the namespace as a TSV that we can just make PRs and releases from, independently of BEL version?

I need to find time to write a BEP to remove these 'default' namespaces from the BEL Specs and indicate that the BELNS or DEF prefix stands for default terms. We also can't just change default namespace terms without giving people the option of managing this 'default' namespace on their own.

I definitely agree putting these default namespaces in the BEL Spec was a mistake. We also don't have all of the other options from the other terminologies (equivalences, hierarchy, synonyms, etc).
