VEP-007: datalink-core#detached-header

[BONNAREL FRANCOIS]

Hi all,
Very interesting proposal indeed.
I'm just wondering if we could take the opportunity to create a new 
#metadata branch .
So that "#detached-header" would be a child of this head term #metadata
Other children terms in the future could be #provenance_record (to 
attach ivoa provenance serailisation to #this), #obscore_record (to 
attche obscore metadata to #this when the dataset was not discovered via 
an ObsCoredelivering service) etc ....
Cheers
François
