Dear Martin, many thanks for this! I would change, or remove, this part
"[...] marks the fact, that the maintaining team is in general neutral to the validity of the respective assertion [...]" We see a good use-case for E13 in recording information that is wrong, or information that once used to be thought correct. For example, an artefact that was once thought to have been produced by Person A, but later it emerged that it was made by Person B. In such cases, we want to record the first piece of information using E13, along with its source, to indicate that we are aware of it and to allow people to find it even when they search based on outdated knowledge. We as the maintaining team are therefore not neutral to the validity of the assertion.
