Re: COMURI

IMHO the title ("Compact Uniform Resource Identifier" - COMURI) is a bad
name as it is going to draw obvious confusion with another W3C proposed
standard: CURIE Syntax 1.0 - A syntax for expressing Compact URIs [1]. The
difference being that CURIEs have been around for a long time and have a
lot of real world usage and implementations (not to mention it's been
incorporated into the RDFa Core 1.1 Recommendation [2]).

That said, I see that COMURI and CURIEs have entirely different purposes
and scope. However, I think confusion should be avoided, and as it is it
would take a while for someone new to both to read them in depth and tell
them apart.
