RE: More comments on the ontology

Hi Jose,

Short URIs need to be approved by the W3C Director. Usually, we leave that
until quite late in the process once we know that the URI we ask for is
appropriate. I don't think we should do it until we are getting close to
Last Call for the ontology.

Cheers
Rhys
