Jan,

The authors had a very extensive discussion again. We have decided to
support only single-object ALTO resources, and leave multipart, which can
be a nice feature to support composition without the need of accumulating
all objects into a single object, as future work. We edited a few sentences
to make clear.

Thanks a lot for the guidance!
Richard
