MIVOT implementor feedback 1: RESOURCE location

[Laurent Michel]

Dear DM,

The MIVOT proposal (20/12/2023) has been updated (PR #174) in order to allow the RESOURCE containing the MIVOT block to be anywhere in the HOST resource.

The Markus proposal goes further since he suggest to drop the requirement of having the MIVOT block into a specific RESOURCE.
I’ve no strong opinion on that topic although it makes sense to me to see the model annotation block as a resource.

We need your comments on that that topic before to decide to go in one way or another.
An issue has been open for this
