Right, that's not the intent of adding a role/motivation to
SpecificResource. The requirement expressed is to have bodies with clearly
distinguished, different roles.  Relating bodies to targets would be a
different, further requirement.

I'll repeat my argument against expectation, as separate from motivation:

It is a property of the transfer of the information between two systems,
not a feature of a persistent Annotation.  The motivation is to change the
content, which is fine.  However, if there's an expectation that the
receiving system will take an action when the annotation is sent to it,
then using an Annotation is overkill. There's perfectly fine HTTP verbs to
PATCH or PUT content.
