Re: 3. WoT Thing needs to have meta Band

So this gets into one of the principals I'd like to promote, that:

   - things do what they say they do
   - things are what they say they are

So if you have an old Pentium in the basement that you'd like to heat the
room (or the student's computer pool room at Karlsruhe), you can add
"iot-facet:climate.heating" to the metadata facets. When some client wants
to heat up the room, they introspect the environment, find that there's a
device that (says its) a heater and turn it on.
