Dave Morris made this point to me at the VOTech meeting in Strasbourg last week, but I'm not sure I was thinking very clearly about it at the time. A question which occurs to me now: does VOSpace require a single data format per file (or entry, or whatever the correct term is), or can a single file be labelled with multiple different data format URIs at the same time?
