I think this make it explicit that the xsi:type also means the
prov:type is inferred. I assume this is also true for custom
xsi:types.
Therefore this:
<prov:entity prov:id="tr:WD-prov-dm-20111215" xsi:type="ex:Workflow">
</prov:entity>
should infer:
<prov:type xsi:type="xsd:QName">ex:Workflow</prov:type>
<prov:type>prov:Plan</prov:type> <!-- inferred -->
<prov:type>prov:Entity</prov:type> <!-- inferred -->
as long as ex:Workflow is an extension of prov:Plan (and that schema
is referenced through xsi:schemaLocation).
Do we need to make this explicit as well? (Not a blocker for
publication of draft!)
However this text reads a bit odd now:
> The PROV-DM states that type information is described using a the prov:type PROV attribute with > and may occur multiple times for a given entity, activity, agent, or relation.
Too many a/the/with !
Also the below is no longer true:
> The prov:type element is the only mechanism to explicitly declare multiple types for an instance or declare types that are not derived from the default element type.
Given my assumption above.

Your call.. :-/ I'm OK with it being closed.
