Doing more with examples #104

(Submitted by Jonatan Steller, talking about his DMLex implementation in TYPO3)

There is one aspect that I think should not go
unnoticed as it illustrates the neat design of DMLex. The lexicographic
resources we produce at the Academy of Sciences and Literature Mainz
often contain historical examples, as in the case of field names or
names of historical persons. To accommodate this, we simply added
properties like "period", "locationRelation" and "agentRelation" to the
existing "Examples" class and allowed for an "example" property in the
"Entry" class in addition to the "Sense" class. Furthermore, we needed
frequency data for multiple countries to both "Entry" and "Sense" and
were able to just add a respective class and property as a sort-of
custom module. This is to highlight that I have become very fond of the
modular design of the spec because implementers like me may need this
sort of flexibility.

The request here is to allow for extra properties to be included easily? We should probably document something about user-specific extensions as this is in practice very important for the adoption of models such as this

We do say in section "2 Conformance" that "DMLex Instances MAY contain custom extensions" etc. and I think this is sufficient.

No further action is required, in my opinion. I suggest to close this issue.
