fixed.  Let me know if it is still a problem.

to be honest, we haven't thought much about what should/not go into that
block.  It was intentionally left ambiguous so that we could discuss it
at some point in the future.  It appears that the point has now come!

My gut is that we should not just stick raw XML in there, since that
isn't very MOBYesque... the MOBYesque way would be to make another
ontology :-)  A "commentary ontology" or something like that - then wrap
your XML according to its type.

what kinds of information do you have in your XML?  

Damian/Gary - does S-MOBY have a place in the canonical RDF to stick
provision information data?  Do you have a defined set of predicates for
that?
