Your advice seems quite sound to me, but is mostly helpful for people
creating vocabularies. The RDFTM task force is in a slightly different
position, however. We have to create a generic mapping between a
technology that does not have a built-in concept of names (RDF) and
one that does (Topic Maps). This was why we were wondering if
rdfs:label is the common superproperty of all name properties. If it
is, it means that untyped names from Topic Maps can become rdfs:label
statements in RDF, and vice versa. If not things get a little harder.
