Thanks for the context, Hadrien. Mostly, relabeling `@id` as `identifier` and tucking it inside `metadata` seems very confusing. It look more like rel="identifier" or schema:identifier--but both of those can have multiple values and would be used for different purposes (especially within a WP). There's obviously lots to sort out, and perhaps having some data model diagrams would be helpful. Appreciate the exploration, though, Hadrien!

It's not a bug, we primarily use the RWPM with EPUB files right now in the context of Readium-2. Since we're using this manifest mostly on a localhost server, we'd rather include the unique identifier provided in the OPF than the URI to the local server. I don't think that in this context, mapping identifier to @id is dangerous at all, if you look at the RDF output it makes perfect sense to identify such publications using their ISBN. That said, the only requirement is to use a URI in there. This means that you could use it for the WP address as well, this is completely allowed. It felt a little more natural to me to include the canonical identifier rather than the WP address in identifier, but this is something that could be easily tackled if we decide to use RWPM.
