When I wrote that I was just trying to say users (which can include 
organizations) need to be able to use custom properties to describe 
their documents, and the stuff within them. By "domain" I was just 
thinking sort of user community or some such.

The key here is the notion "custom description"; e.g. stuff not 
formally in the spec or approved by the TC.
