Seems like a user could declare slideshow to be a sub-class of sioc:item 
without that needing to be specified at the SIOC level?  Let me put that 
another way, clearly someone /could/ do that, in their own ontology, but what 
is the general feeling about that?  I suppose it could cause some issues, since 
others might not notice the additional statement and see unexpected results, 
and not doing it at a vocabulary level misses out on possible synergies ...
