TextualDescriptionsForConcepts

Description:
SKOS currently has 7 "documentation"/"note" properties: skos:note,
skos:scopeNote, skos:defition, skos:historyNote, skos:editorialNote,
skos:changeNote, skos:example.

In the SKOS Core Guide
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20051102>, 3 different design
patterns are allowed for these properties -- "documentation as an RDF literal",
"documentation as a related resource description", and "documentation as a
document reference". 

Do we continue to allow these different design patterns? If we do, we have to
accept a complex range for these properties. Is that OK? How should we formally
specify that?
