Hello Kieran,

I thought I chime in here ...

the reason I don't like the example above, is that it will cause havoc for
the software that i wrote to resolve these identifiers. So my software would
probably reject the annotation as invalid ...

An Xref seems to me like a suitable alternative ... though we even could
split this up, have one attribute for the source model (which could be any
URI) and a separate one with an Xpath expression to the element. I can see
need for such an annotation and it would definitely something to be brought
up at the 'annotationathon' (or even at the hackathon).

Cheers
Frank
