There are no defined ways to represent this is 1.2 I think. So using itsx:externalResourceRef is the only thing I could think of.
And I guess having the value be a list of IRI is the only solution I can think of.

We'll have to see how that works.

Well, it really depends on how much wok one is willing to do. You could imagine creating place in the HTML or XML original to hold
the information. It's just there is no way to standardize how that would be done.

So maybe something like: "This document does not prescribe a way to feed back the value of local termInfoRef/locNoteRef markup as
there are many valid ways to perform that task."
