This seems to imply treating the relationship as a full-blown entity, a 
class, which is a fine approach, but I think the easiest way would be to 
simply have each of the various relationship types be properties, i.e. use 
http://gmpg.org/xfn/1#met, http://gmpg.org/xfn/1#neighbor, etc...
These could then be subproperties of foaf:knows.

I'm not sure how the XFN people would feel about this kind of URI space 
hi-jacking though...

In any case, I don't see a http://gmpg.org/xfn/1#rel property as being 
useful, unless I missed something about the concept, what would the domain 
and range be?
