Yeah, I was wondering about that, so RESOURCE seems better then.
FWIW I personally think an explicit extension of the schema would be more appropriate.
The whole VO-DML mapping approach was explicitly designed for use in VOTable, as an implementation/evolution of the ideas underlying the utype attribute.
So that being explicitly part of the VOTable schema, even if only in an imported or included form, seems correct to me.
But if it is (again) important that VOTable should not be changed, including it in RESOURCE seems the right thing.
