That's not the argument. Sure people may need this. I need to figure out how
to get emulsion paint off a leather coat, but don't expect RFC 3066bis to
help.

It is perfectly possible to come up with an ontology for mechanisms used to
record text (e.g. handwritten, typed, whatever), we don't need 3066bis to
record every possible datum about a piece of text or we'll end-up with some
Borgesian impossibility.
