[topicmapmail] TMRM/TMDM Mapping: bootstrap proxy "subject-identifier"

Hi Lars,

thank you for your answer. This case seems to relate to one of the 
described design criteria in [1] Annex B:

"Proxies for identity related information should be kept apart from 
proxies carrying statement information about the subjects."

while <item-identifier, i> given in [1] Annex B.5 is a property within a 
proxy.

Best regards,
Johannes
