Re: top tag descriptions, clarifications

A few comments:

- I think we should not distinguish URN from dereferenceable URIs; this
debate is out of scope for us. Any URI should be considered as an
identifier, possibly dereferenceable.

- I think we should allow textual descriptions or URIs, but also be able
to disinguish between the two

- I think we should allow explicit multiple values

The last two points have been my concerns when developing the toy
application at [1] (which should be updated now with the top tags).
