Scope of GO:0005615  ! extracellular space

#10434 Clarification for GO:0005615 (extracellular space)

This ticket requests that "comment for "extracellular space" be modified to clarify that it can also be used for secretions such as tears and saliva."

It is hard to see a justification for this in terms of useful annotation provided for end-users. Who is going to expect the contents of tears to be classified as components of an extracellular space? Isn't this the domain of anatomy ontologies? If a non-species specific term is needed, shouldn't the annotation be to an Uberon term?

part_of relationships for complexes

SF10283. Should a complex be described as being in a specific topology even if all of the members of the complex are not in that topology, example integral to membrane?

specific terms for amino acid modifications that vary among taxa

SF10413. Apparently in yeast S10 on a histone is equivalent to S14 in other organisms. How do we modify the definition of molecular function terms to represent this?
