Re: A real problem with CURIEs and a proposal

For a long-term (not short-term!) solution, wouldn't it be so much easier
for everyone to understand, particularly the less technically
knowledgeable, if the character used to separate a prefix from the rest of
a "CURIE" (or similar) was NOT ":" but something else instead? While this
character remains the same as the one used in existing IRIs, and with
namespaces, many people are going to remain confused.

Yes, I am slightly aware of the huge ramifications of this, but then I'm
not suggesting it as a short-term or easy solution, just a good one,
eventually.
