For the record... that means that I support the introduction of a
shortened list of Agent element qualifiers (Illustrator, ...), based on
the list developed by Rebecca, for this voting round.
I tend to agree with Simon that the current list is too library-centric
(and would certainly support Owner and Collector from his list above
because we use them in projects here!). However, given that Rebecca's
list is the product of a WG and given that we will presumably vote on each
proposed Agent element qualifier separately, it seems perfectly acceptable
to me to introduce that list into the ballot at this stage.
