Vladimir, Johan, I won't react to Johan's feedback. If you end up agreeing on a prefered solution it's good :-) But I'd like to point that the patterns that were once outlined in the SKOS Core Guide [2] have been updated and fit in the SKOS Primer: http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/#secadvanceddocumentation So you can consider all these options as compatible with the recommendation. Indeed the multiplicity of choices may be regarded harmful for interoperability. But I think we have not much choice. there will always be people prefering simple notes as literals, without the burden of having to create new resources or documents for them.
