BTW -- to be clear, the current intent of the draft is that most relations -- and indeed all ones that are application or format specific -- will be extension relations; that is, most people who want to define a relation will be using URIs (although syntactically they may be different; e.g., RDFa in XHMTL). This is a marked change from the previous approach, where the URI form (in Atom) was largely ignored, and people registered relations with a very low bar (giving us some with dubious value, and/or difficulties in knowing how to support them). -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
