Me neither. RDF takes control away from schemas, allowing multiple schemas to be mixed-in when describing some object, without need for permission, anticipation or coordination from the original schema writers. And when that results in too many namespaces at instance level, you can always create an indirection schema that defines subclasses/subproperties of common terms so that instance data can use a single flat namespace instead. Seems easier than throwing away the base level and starting from scratch... Dan
