> I am trying to remeber the rational for having distribution in two places. I
> think that we did that expecting that lots of people would not use
> eml-Physical, so it made sense to have it in resource. The distribution
> information in Resource was intended, I think, for human consumption while
> the element in eml-physical was meant primarily for software agents.
