Yes, that is a limitation of the sw-vocab-status vocab. At the end of last
year I started writing it up towards a W3C Note (after a 'go for it' from
Ivan), with Libby Miller and Leigh Dodds. The effort is a little stalled but
the draft is at http://www.w3.org/2003/06/sw-vocab-status/note.html
If you think it's worthwhile, we could expand the note to include new more
useful properties.
Interested to help? :)
(even encouraging us to put time into this counts as help!)
