Doug – to elaborate … the first picture in the model is this:
[cid:image005.png@01CFFF65.6D2F9B50]
This says unambiguously that an annotation, body, and target, are separate resources.
I realize it says “An annotation is considered to be a set of connected resources, typically including a body and target,” which is inconsistent with the picture, and I would think one or the other needs to be changed.
If we want an annotation to include the body and target, I would expect a picture like this …
[cid:image006.png@01CFFF65.6D2F9B50]
…. Which introduces a new resource type, AnnotationConnector. I would not object to changing the model as such, but it may be too late in the game.
