In http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/wiki/Annotating_Resource-in-Context_Proposals many of the examples put cnt:chars on the Body, thereby making it a cnt:ContentAsText class by inference. (That's the domain of cnt:chars.) Normally, I don't like domains and typing by inference via domains, but it seems pretty harmless here and is rather concise. Have we anywhere explicitly blessed using cnt at all? It seems like a good idea here, but I can't explain why I'm a little nervous. Still, if we adopted it at least as a best practice, applications annotators can, of they choose always(?) be able to produce something that a consuming application can present to humans without much advance understanding of the domain vocabulary of the Body details.
