That was actually in my first draft of the email I sent, but I removed
it because I couldn't fully communicate the reason (no one won the
debate in my head on whether it should be done).

The internal debate is now leaning towards generic Collection, for the
reason of modeling Collections that either don't have a representative
webpage (probably common enough). It is also a great use case of
isPartOf without a hasPart option (where would the hasPart="" live?).

Indeed. At face value it seems odd to have only one one-way arrow in an
inherently bidirectional relationship.
