Comments on Model WD of 2015-10-15: Statements without justification

(This is the last mail in this series:-)

I have run into some statements in the document that are in the text without real justification. I may or may not agree with those but, in any case, a reason should be given.

• Section 3.1. "The Annotation class MUST be associated with an Annotation using @type."
 Why MUST? This may be the only place where associating a type is a MUST. Personally, a SHOULD ought to be enough.

• Section 4.2.1. "It is RECOMMENDED to use FragmentSelector as a consistent method compatible with other means of describing SpecificResources, rather than using the Fragment URI directly. "
 Why?

• Section 5.3. "The option of having a simple string literal for the body is not possible when using Multiplicity constructs, and the embedded textual body resource pattern must be used."
 Why? A list can have a mixture of objects and literals…
