Also the conversation a few months back about dc:coverage and the
confusion over whether it merged together "about-ness" and
"applicability" (at least on the "spatial" side) highlighted the
problems which arise if the broad bucket approach is applied loosely.
A statement using the dc:coverage property and having a place as value
is more or less useless because I don't know if it means the resource is
"about" the place or "applicable to" the place.
