Coming back to what Maarten said: 
Is this CNAF-LHCB issue a use case which appears also on other sites? 
I tend to agree here with Maarten and point to the (client-)software
which should take care of this. In fact, this is an agreement between
the site and the vo which the model currently can't consider- except in
a otherInfo field. 

So, lets find out whether we have to model this anyway. If so, we'll see
then how we could do it.
