That's why I mentioned QNames. You are proposing a third syntax...not
QNames which has an optional prefix...not CURIEs that were devised as
an attempt to solve the problems of QNames...but a third syntax that
is CURIEs with a *mandatory* prefix.

As long as it's clear that there are two separate issues, which I
explain in more detail in my other email.

I don't see a problem with voting on whether we should generate
'legacy' triples or not--that's fine. If the answer to that is 'no',
then we need to find a way to express how these values are ignored.
But messing with CURIEs/QNames to achieve this is something that
cannot be done lightly, and would certainly need an additional vote.

Mark
