Jonathan,

Don't confuse the SAP community for OpenURL in general. It is the
community profiles and their implied consensus that are the limiting
factors in this case. 

In contrast, I can imagine other OpenURL profiles that are open-ended
and dynamic, although I would agree this is somewhat problematic given
the current community profile schema.
