In that regard, what about RDFa? @longdesc is simply a URL. And RDFa is 
about URLs, no? Does RDFa treat it as a URL? And if not, shouldn't it 
do that? 

The relevance of seeing @longdesc as shorthand notation for <a 
rel="longdesc" href=*"> again comes to mind. If RDFa treats longdesc as 
equivalent to a link with rel="longdesc", then a triple will be be 
produced.

Where is the correct place to file a bug against RDFa, to make it do 
this?
