Because our task is to write a standard which conforms to some other standards, in particular XSD (charter). If the world in general chooses to mis-use these standards, it isn't our job to track their mis-use. That's the Microsoft way; we are obliged (and IMO, morally obliged) to follow the Godzilla way. If we write a standard which assumes that people are mis-using the XSD spec, then it will be impossible for *anyone* to conform to RDF +XSD.
