Description

I am pretty confused by the "labels" metadata section:
It looks like this specifies the path to the first scale array. However, it would make much more sense to me if this specified the group with multiscales metadata for the label image.
I.e. instead of {"labels": ["orphaned/0"]} I would expect {"labels": ["orphaned"]}. Is this maybe just wrong?

On a sidenote: why do you call it orphaned? I think for labels something like mask or my-fancy-mask would make more sense as an example name.

Research direction

Read the linked labels metadata section and its surrounding multiscales definitions; compare the documented orphaned/0 example with the proposed orphaned path. Done means the specification's labels path semantics and example naming are explicitly resolved and documented.
