Ha! Let the games begin! :-)

Seriously, I cannot believe we are having this discussion. The day that that "a"
in Turtle/SPARQL represents https://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type
instead of http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type will be the day
when RDF breaks. Leave it as it is.

All those URI changing fixes to get rid of technical debt will mean a lot of 
pain for a lot of people - unless you can come up with a scheme where those 
fixes are handled transparently by the software. I am not talking of reasoners
here. A large fraction of the users don't use them because they are a PITA.
RDF should stay accessible for people who are not top of the range and use 
hard-coded URIs in their code.

Maybe we can come up with a completely new RDF where "Cool URIs don't change"
is enforced technically? ;-)
