Re: F2F Decision: Multiple Resources

Yes, this my thought exactly. Of course I do have some predilections to
abusing...I mean pushing specifications to their limits. ;)

I'm not actually convinced that this is a fair use of the OA spec but it
does seem to be one way a person could add evidence to an annotation
without adding a property specifically for communicating evidence, which
might be a case of scope creep.

Regards,

Jacob

P.S. When is the next Community Group conference call? Seems like this
issue, oa:hasState and some others could use some discussion.
