Just want to be clear what you're suggesting for UK LOM Core / IMS Best
Practice Guide

Bit difficult to "make this clear in the metadata as with other
vocabularies in the LOM" if you're using either of the keyword elements
since they have langString rather than vocabulary datatype, so you can't
put in source-value pairs. Are you suggesting using the taxonPath
element in the classification category? or does this conflict with your
first point?

I'll see whether we can look into that when moving from 1.3 Public Draft
to Final.
All the best, Phil
