Svante would like a way for us to map in the manifest an odf:Element to a
some sort of a plugin/handler/etc.

<odf:Element odf:idref="">
      <odf:plugin rdf:resource="http://someplugin"/>
</odf:Element>

However, I feel that's too application specific and we could start getting
into defining how is that plugin found/loaded/priority/etc. I believe we
are specifiying a flexible model to encode metadata, not its specific uses.
