[Issue-75] - Domain

I believe we touched on this early on. I think one of the reasons to not have local markup for Domain was that the Dublin Core was providing already a way to do this on several formats: we didn't want to re-invent what existed (one can just map to it like we do for HTML5).

This implies that there is some standard of the different components of the processing chain.
Is there?

I reckon a given user could use domainMapping to map the original domain name to such composite code and behave like you describe, no? ITS doesn't define how to use the mapped label, only how to map it.
Do you have another option in mind?
