Title: Message



I *think* I understand the intent but not necessarily the motivation. Are 
rich semantic descriptions of property values and relations a *requirement* or a 
"nice to have" feature of a particular API? I can see the value of having 
*human-readable* meta-information (aids the user of the Web Service). I can see 
the value of type constraints a-la Schema (mainly helping the Consumer map 
properties into programming constructs). Can anyone clarify the value of richer 
constraints? 
 
Or, maybe, can we perhaps define this requirement as open for 
extensibility, for example:
This specification should permit the Producer to specify additional 
machine-readable semantic information regarding properties.
...which would lead to a construct such as Schema's <app-info> 
which allows arbitrary (but not specified) type constraints and 
information.

R413 [Expressiveness]
        
          Producer properties 
  should allow for the specification of
validation 
  constraints and/or logic at each of the following levels: 
1.      lexical
2.      syntactic
3.      semantic
4.      Constraints linking two property 
  elements, defining how the value of
one may be 
  computed from that of the other. Debate: CW, SR, AK, SF, SA. Also
414-415 
  
        Reword #4:  
  
  
        By reference to the 
  value(s) of one or more properties already
defined.
