115 115  
116 116  Some use cases may benefit from having a single, default value for all locales/languages but also to set the value for certain locales. An example is ORDER where there may be a default list order for all locales but two locales have a specific order which is different from the default. In order to avoid having to state an order for every locale, the Annotation Title property may be used to state the default value, whereas the text property is used for the localised values.
117 117  
118 118  Consider this annotation //Example~:// An ORDER annotation type that is attached to a code item ACME. If both the Annotation Text and Annotation Title have values, then the Annotation Text value (e.g. en:10,es:20) is used for the localized values instead of the Annotation Title (e.g. 30) which would only be taken if the locale in the context is not found among the specified ones.
