Hi Henry, Very good points! I have updated my blog post [1] to mention Sommer as another source of inspiration.
It would be great if you could participate to this JSR (maybe as a member of the expert group?). I think that your Semantic Web point of view and experience with resource description via Java annotations would be very valuable.
