But there is another default set, namely the set of 'link relations' that are recognized as valid in a @rel or @property[1]. The decision of the RDFa WG is to rely on the IANA set of link relations in this respect[2]. It is worth referring to that, too (note that those terms are used only if there is no @vocab, meaning that in probably 99%, if not 100%, of the schema.org cases they would have no effect).

Has the RDFWAWG done an analysis on whether the semantics are comparable? (It seems to me that rel="alternate stylesheet" has particular issues.) If it hasn't, it would be a useful thing for this group to do.
