1) I support Simon/Roy’s request, it seems straightforward.

2) Roy M, it would be good to get that discussion topic in a ticket, so we can 
continue it there. But, I should warn you, I also went through that argument 
about 12 years ago, and I can vouch that the CF metadata community has been 
consistent over that time. I can’t remember the precise motivation, but 
basically it is almost never the preferred model. (But at least one time, when 
the observed thing was a taxonomic entity, I believe it was agreed to adopt a 
plug-in approach.)  Perhaps now that SWEET is becoming a more actively managed 
resource, and once CSDMS is more in the public realm, these may serve as  
patterns (and vocabulary sources) for using plug-ins in other semantic models.
