Re: [web-annotation] Relationship between dc:language and processing language for multilingual resources

well ... I think that there are, only that we didn't make an analysis 
deep enough of these usecases. 
as indicated in #341 there are different types of processors, and this
 property was introduced exactly becasue the processors need it, not 
becasue the annotation, or the represenation of the annotation needs 
it.

So ... there are classes of processors that need the exact language of
 the text, mainly the ones that deal with rendering. And there are 
classes that don't need the exact representation, like the indexers or
 entity recognition tools. The most of indexers and ER tools are 
trained on english texts, so .. their processing language should be 
en, but they can be successfully applied on resources in other 
languages (e.g. german, french, italian, romanian).

Therefore it is very important to think types/classes of text 
processors could be used, and what is the implication of using the 
processingLanguage of cardinality 1, given the the correct 
representation would be the one proposed in #341
