I'm more than happy to continue the discussion. I would suggest we take a step back and compare the costs here: implementations of RDFa are working just fine, implementations that do not support RDFa will, at worst, miss some of the RDFa @rel statements. A change at this point, which would be a *major change* in a REC, would cause significant pain to folks who have begun to widely deploy RDFa. Meanwhile, I don't think there's a significant problem with having language-specific syntax expansions for @rel, since we all agree that semantically they're URIs (except when they're link-types). -Ben
