I agree the relationship is different: in 9.4 the Keyword is not
describing the Classification. I'd say its relationship to
Classification is like that of Taxonpath to the Classification, except
that in the case of 9.4:Keyword it's not part of a formal classification
system. The same distinction would then have to apply to 9.3:Description
and 1.4:Description, wouldn't it?

One other comment on 9.3:Description: its multiplicity should be 1, not
repeated.
