Related notes:
Added in the introductory part of section 3:
The mechanisms described here are intended to allow a server or data publisher to provide information that may assist a client in finding related provenance information. While a server should try not to provide spurious information, there are no fixed semantics, particularly when multiple values are provided, and a client should not assume that a specific given provenance-uri will yield information about a specific given target-uri. In the general case, a client presented with multiple provenance-uris and multiple targe-uris may look for provenance information about any or all of the target-uris in provenance information obtained from all of the provenance-uris.
Add note to the effect that this is because there's no way to pair provenance URIs with anchor URIs.
