change addressbook from a thing to a container?

[michielbdejong]

As @csarven suggested in #8, let's split out this proposal as a separate issue and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. If we decide we do want to make this change, then it would probably make sense to make both changes at the same time.

Notice it's a .ttl file here:

# Maps the type vcard:AddressBook to an index document
<#ab09fd> a solid:TypeRegistration;
    solid:forClass vcard:AddressBook;
    solid:instance </contacts/myPublicAddressBook.ttl>.

@melvincarvalho I think this example is wrong, in practice it is an address book instance, not the file

@angelo-v good information, thanks! I was wondering about that. I think there's an element of mixing Documents and Things, which is OK. But we should try and be consistent. Also overloading documents can be dangerous.

I dont think it should be a Container though, unless there's some good reasoning behind it.
