Really? Did we indeed vote to disallow:

<div href="[_:foo]">

?

I think I would be okay if we had, but even so, having different syntax 
for URIs in @resource and @href would be quite confusing:

<a href="http://example.org" resource="<http://example.org/alternate>">

Changing the way URIs are written in HTML... that's some pretty risky 
stuff. I'm *much* more in favor of thinking about better ways to 
represent CURIEs, even if they require a few more characters.

(To make things worse, I'm pretty sure you have to XML-escape the < and 
 > characters inside attribute values if you want things to validate, 
and that gets quite ugly.)
