Re: Schema.org in RDF ...

my2c

i would seriously advice against using  triples with http://schema.rdfs.org  .

That  would be totally and entirely validating their claim that either
you impose things or fragmentation will distroy everything and that
talking to the community is a waste of time.

For how little this matters really - i'd really advice anyone wanting
to produce RDFa of schema to live with it and use direct
http://schema.org uris as per their example in RDFa.
