      Consensus in 2016-7-21 was to close with no action (see comments), but we wanted to follow up with Matt, who was not on the call, to make sure he didn't have a particular use case that required this additional information.

      There are two parts to this issue:

      1) The AppliesTo attribute of edm:Term can only be used to refer to metadata-based annotations. It would be desirable to enhance this so that it can also be used for instance annotations. I discussed this with Ralf, and he suggested one approach would be to update AppliesTo to also allow terms like:

      TypeInstance, CollectionInstance, EntityTypeInstance, ReferenceInstance, etc. or even just Instance

      2) There is currently no way to include in the metadata document what instance annotations can be expected for particular types. We should also allow this information in the metadata document.
