Hello Andrew,
We considered the "editing" side but decided to first focus on data
representation only, as it is by itself a complex problem. We'll
probably address the editing side at some point, but as far as I am
concerned I'm not ready to go that way yet (though nothing prevents it
being discussed).
I agree it does not make sense to use a separate mechanism to address
this problem. A vocabulary within the Fresnel framework does.
