You could ask on the call today, but my recollection is that this was 
done because @property had no legacy to support.  Personally I think 
this was a mistake - that the XHTML 2 paradigm that any non-prefixed 
CURIE in any attribute is assumed to be from the XHTML vocabulary, but I 
was out voted.  So now the only place we have simple values are in @rel 
and @rev.
