Note I am referring to Guus' "LabelRelation" proposal [3], not Guus' "Simple Extension" proposal [1].

The proposal has deliberately weak semantics for skos:seeLabelRelation. There is no requirement to use it all. There are no constraints its cardinality in either direction. Also (from [4]):

"...there does not necessarily have to be any correspondance between the lexical labels of a resource, and the labels involved in a label relation, to which the resource is related via the skos:seeLabelRelation property"

I prefer the "Minimal Label Relation" proposal [4] to the "LabelAnnotation" proposal [2].

So many proposal names :)
