[dxwg] Should PROF roles be in a their own namespace? (#1048)

aisaac has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/dxwg:

== Should PROF roles be in a their own namespace? ==
Currently [PROF roles](https://www.w3.org/TR/dx-prof/#resource-roles-vocab) are defined in their own namespace, separate from the "base" one for PROF.
In #535 and #536 points have been made for and against having them in separate namespace. But that discussion was mixed with the discussion on whether they should be documented in the same document as PROF, which is slightly different.
In the end I am not sure there has been a definitive argument for keeping roles in the same namespace. So I would like the WG to re-examine this. 
Maybe to there has been progress on the front of possible W3C registry (such registry was envisioned at one point as a possible place for a role vocabulary).

In the meantime I think there should be a note acknowledging the issue in [the role section of the PROF spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/dx-prof/#resource-roles-vocab), asking for commenters to give feedback. 

NB: I believe this is not a blocking issue for moving to CR.
