At the moment, there is a discrepancy. For `body` the text says > There SHOULD be 1 or more body relationships associated with an Annotation but there MAY be 0. whereas for `bodyText`, it says: > There MAY be exactly 1 bodyText for an Annotation, The only argument I have seen in favour of this restriction on `bodyText` is simplicity. However, due to the possibilities for `body`, implementations already have to deal with the duality of array vs. single object when handling the bodies, so this handling can easily be transferred for multiple `bodyText`, too. In other words, the restrictions seems to be fairly arbitrary to me. It is not a major issue because I do not believe there will be tons of annotations with multiple textual bodies. Ie, if the majority wants to keep the restriction, I will not lie down on the road:-). But spec wise it looks fairly asymmetric to me. -- GitHub Notification of comment by iherman Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/150#issuecomment-185131822 using your GitHub account
