That is absolutely true. That is why I said that the RDF namespace 
will remain HTTP until the end of times.

We could introduce the policy that newer vocabularies, like OA, would 
be HTTPS, though. But I am not sure I like the duality: some are HTTP 
and others are HTTPS.

As I said, the same applies to the official identifiers of 
Recommendations.

spaces" as we sometimes call them, are defined by their lexical 
representation for analysis purposes. Or at least they are in all the 
software I have examined personally.
