Yes! specifying the SBO with a mapping to user-functions would
be nice I (still) think.

For those who understand math, the SBO-kinetic-lib is in the
SBML. But the mapping of speciesrefs and params into the
kinetic law is explicit in the math of the kinetic law and
any "precompiled-function-tool" can read and write the mapping
directly into the 'real' kinetic law.

Having the standardized function lib in the file also avoids
the SBO-online problem.

It is just a problem for tools that can't substitute functions,
but I think this could be a service-function in libsmbl as well
as an external tool for conversion/expansion.
