Re: [web-annotation] Dropping type from ... what?

+1 from me to only relax the dctypes to a MAY.

Having reread section 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 more carefully, it's clear that
points about how dctypes:Class and dc:format can be exploited are a 
bit
backwards. Typically we are going to want look for format first if
available and then fall back to dctype if that format is an opaque 
document
format (like html) for the kind of rendering that 3.2.2 is suggesting.

I suggest that the language regarding applications determining and
rendering resources be moved to 3.2.3 and new text describing dctypes 
as
the backup plan for rendering resources be added. We should leave a 
note
that at the developer's preference it can be used as a shortcut for
determining how to render certain kinds of resources exactly as 
currently
described.

I further suggest swapping locations of 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 so that body 
and
target metadata is discussed first and body and target classes (I 
think we
mean the type of content they contain but possibly we mean to repeat 
their
type of format) is discussed second.

With regards to UI/UX I was imagining both the scenario that is 
already
described (client is given a dctypes:Image resource and knows to wrap 
it in
an <img> element with the appropriate src attribute) and also 
scenarios
where dctypes:Image is leveraged by an annotation system's IR feature 
to
retrieve at the user's request, all of the annotations targeting 
images or
all of the annotations that annotate something with images or all of 
the
annotations that have images as a part of them.

Regards,

Jacob
