Hi Toby, > There seem to be very few use cases where relative references in > @property, @rel, @rev, @datatype or @typeof would come in handy. Right -- it would imply that a document both defines some values, and then consumes them. The only example I've ever been able to come up with where that is likely, is when defining an OWL ontology; you can use properties defined in the ontology to specify features of the ontology itself. But frankly, anyone who is doing that will be more than capable of defining their own CURIEs or using absolute URIs! I've yet to hear anyone mention any other use-case, so it sounds like the consensus is that we can live without relative paths in RDFa attributes.
