My own personal experience (and I'm even some kind of RDF person) is that, even though I have the mental model and back-story to justify rel= vs property=, ... I did often find myself mixing them up in practice, especially when returning to RDFa after a few months away. I've been fortunate in that I've a lot of RDFa literate friends who'll help me out in IRC and Skype, but a lot of our users won't. If we can find a way to avoid making publishers think about rel-vs-property, I'm sure it'll make things easier for everyone... cheers, Dan
