Observational Similarities and Potential Connections Between Luminous Ultrasoft NLS1s and BALQSOs

Luminous ultrasoft NLS1s and low-ionization BALQSOs share many properties, and they both represent important extremes of the active galaxy phenomenon. We briefly discuss their observational similarities as well as potential physical connections between them, concentrating on the X-ray point of view. We present several ways by which potential connections might be further tested.
