Manu,

I'm aware of these discussions.

It would be incorrect to assume that this is about a discussion whether 
to use CURIEs, or not to, in *general*.

The concern that triggered this new discussion is about the @rel 
attribute, which is not new, and which is not solely controlled by the 
XHTML2 working group. Thus, it would have been safer not to use CURIEs 
here at all, or at least to use safe CURIEs.

The introduction of CURIE values for the *new* attributes is a separate 
problem.
