This seems fine to me! Useful, perhaps.

This is interesting, but I wonder if something simpler like "Emit a  
warning if the tool will process the document according to a  
semantics other than what's specified by the annotation property"? At  
least as a start.

Hmm. I certainly don't want to add underspecified properties (a la  
deprecated class). OTOH, this processing model (which seems sensible)  
also seems rather complex and makes me wonder whether it's overall a  
good idea.

So, I don't know. Anyone else?
