The latest vocabularies edited within W3C groups (CG or WG), which is 
what we are talking about here, have all been very carefully thought and 
this discussion we are having, has also already been held. So just let's 
not forget the numerous discussions that already took place. Many of the 
examples you're showing are due to poor vocab usage by some people, this 
does not mean re-using vocabulary is a bad thing, again, when this is 
relevant. See the latest vocabularies such as OA Open Annotation, 
(http://www.w3.org/ns/oa#) which carefully re-use other vocab when 
necessary.
