Sure and I'm tempted to believe that this will happen eventually.
Nonetheless, Bernard makes a good point: the URIs, such as 
http://schema.org/Thing, are information resources, as far as 
httpRange14 is concerned. If you guys from the Linked Data Research 
Centre are not following httpRange14 resolution, who will?

Anyway, schema.rdfs.org is very good initiative and an excellent answer 
to schema.org.
