Fine.

Right - we still use the ACAP vendor registry for the actual vendor token but there would be no 'vendor.' prefix in the keyword.
PS We should probably choose something other than '%' for this since that would be a little ugly with ANNOTATE. Any of '#', '@', '^', '&' etc would be fine, but not '*' or '%' sine those are wildcard matches in annotation entries and would thus have to be escaped.
