The appinfo element can contain any nested XML so you should have a source
attribute to uniquely identify the appinfo as yours and then have some XML
syntax for describing the information, kind of like <hfp:xyz> stuff in the
schema for schemas. You might also consider encoding the information as a
non-schema namespace attribute, kind of like the ecore:xyz annotations we
support for specifying the mapping to Ecore.
