Actually that's not true, because the essence of W3C DDR has always been
the "aspect" being either Device, OS, Browser or even some custom-defined
aspect not many repositories even use, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/DDR-Simple-API/javadoc/org/w3c/ddr/simple/PropertyRef.html
getAspectName()

So the 3 aspects we keep talking about are absolutely nothing new or
innovative of a 2.x data. All that those contributing data to the
repository so far (mostly OMA and its members aside from others
participating in the DDR effort) may have done less precise in some cases
was e.g. putting properties on the device that cover another aspect like OS.

Untangling those could be a significant part of a "2.0" clarification,
while e.g. using a totally new format (of course the issue of converting
all existing data also has to be solved before, but new clients could start
with a minimal set of entries before that is done;-) e.g. JSON would be
another possible task.

So it's data that can and should be fixed first.
