No, it was the following issues:

* The assumption was that if Annotation == Aggregation, then the
bodies and targets are the aggregated resources.
* The ORE docs say that non resolvable URIs cannot be aggregated.
This kills any UUID or blank node resource as an aggregated resource.
* The Proxy construction for talking about the
resource-in-the-context-of-the-Annotation was not especially liked.
This would be the equivalent of a Specific Resource that we have now.
* The mandatory separation of Annotation/Aggregation and
(serialization)/ResourceMap
