FYI: some comments from Timbl on #dig

<timbl> I think rel=meta is a better choice
<timbl> because we have running code which picks it up
<timbl> and fragmenting the market does less damage.
<timbl> I can see also an ACL file having other stuff (like ownership,
provenance, licence etc) and my gut feeling is that one flexible bag is
better than trying to defined lots of rigid bags and al algorithm for what
triples go in what.
