I think we must be very careful in not overcomplicating the use of DCAT. Making explicit the different level of granularity, accuracy, spatio-temporal coverage of distributions may be relevant in some specific use cases, but it is more common that metadata maintainers don't have this information.

I would be more in favour of extending the existing approach, by keep on using `dcat:Distribution` (as everybody is doing now), and by specifying in addition information concerning granularity, etc. (which is now done only at the level of `dcat:Dataset`). This would be more backward compatible, and it would make it possible to extend existing records accordingly.
