    160160==== Importing partial vocabularies hampers reuse ====
    161 The proposed model does not force the modeller to import entire vocabularies only, - it is possible to import only subsets from a larger vocabulary. For example, in a specific ''language'' element, the component creator may choose to import only the languages relevant in his/her user community. Such practice should be discouraged, as it renders the component unusable for anyone who needs access to more/other languages, event though the component otherwise might be perfectly suitable.

Not supporting partial imports while retaining the external vocabulary reference in the Component Registry should however drastically limit the number of such occurrences.
