Hi Tim;
Would this <provenance> tag replace the <origination> tag currently in
existence? It seems potentially confusing in the application to have a
<provenance> tag coequal to all the <...name> tags. Would it serve the
same purpose to make "provenance" some sort of attribute value on the
entire suite of <...name> tags?
