What's specified in the draft is very different from how the implementation
with the most market significance (Google Rich Snippets) processes existing
"RDFa" content. Therefore, the draft has to be considered to be prospective
rather than retrospective. A prospective spec that's different enought from the
market leader to be considered simultaneously retrospective should have it's
design bugs fixed. (If you get rid of prefix-based indirection, one element
creating more than one triple and lower the complexity of the model from graph
to tree, you get something more similar to microdata than RDFa.)
