My vote: I prefer 3a over 1 or 2 because this enables consumers to customise off-the-shelf processors for vocabularies they know about without doing any extra work such as registering those vocabularies. I prefer 3a over 3b because it gives some level of predictability about processor behaviour. I can't live with 2c because it requires network connectivity, makes processing more complicated, and is an additional requirement on the vocabulary publisher which I think they will find burdensome.
