I do. I think we are slipping in application specific stuff that's
underdefined and makes for bad specs.

what does belongTo mean? can an element belongTo to only one plugin? is it
a plugin or a someNamedGraph? why a graph? I thought we were trying to
attach the element to a plugin not the named graph that has its
authoritative content.

Before we put this into the spec, I want to know what is the problem we are
trying to solve, defined (hopefully already in our requirements document).

I don't want to make a big stink if many are in support of this, especially
if someone like Florian backs it up, but I would like more convincing that
this is our responsibility and it's not Svante thinking from an ODF
application perspective as opposed from a metadata extraction one.

At least, I'm going down in the record as this is over-specification.
