[VK] I agree with you on the scope aspect. The key issue I am proposing is
whether we can standardize in a limited way, as Jim suggested, using annotation
properties?

As an ontology builder, it would be great if tools can support sharing of proofs
and explanations across a team of ontologists in a collaborative ontology
building context.

Typically user needs drive tool features and it is very common for users to ask
for features that tool builders do not feel the need for :)
