The one with  "<rdfs:range rdf:resource="#Literal"/>" is a literal ;-)

I'm wondering, why does zAnnot care about, isn't it a good idea for a 
server to return what it gets. Does zAnnot allow the author attribute 
to be both a Resource (VCARD or so) as well as a Literal, or does 
zAnnot insist on getting what it expects?

PS: is there a public zAnnot server against which I can test my client?
