I'm not the right person to answer that, I'm afraid. I'm have only passing familiarity with RDF or the RDF tech stack. Rob, Jacob and others have alluded to structural problems in having multiple bodies, which seem to relate specifically to RDF. I'm not familiar with these constraints, so it's been a struggle to understand their reasoning; I suspect most other web developers (and potential implementers) will have a perspective similar to mine. Principles such as needing bodies and targets to be individually addressable (which makes a certain sense, for pointing to them in an "reply" annotation) and reusable (which makes less sense to me) seem to be at the heart of the matter. Other underlying things seem to be an issue as well, such as the rationale described in the reply to Bill Hunt's email [1], which eluded me. Maybe I'm just being dense, but there is clearly a layer of reasoning that seems obvious to the RDF crowd that is currently beyond me; thus, I don't know how to assess its importance on any given point. Having that spelled out might help the discussion. [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-annotation/2015Jul/0017.html Regards– –Doug
