Again, this debate isn't about the W3C's specs or world view. The fact 
that this list is hosted on a W3C server doesn't automatically insert 
its world view into the context of this conversation/debate.

The issue at hand here is the concept of Linked Data.

A W3C spec (e.g., from the RDF workgroup) has the full power and 
authority to define Linked Data as it sees fit. That doesn't mean the 
fundamental concept is a so-called "term or art" for the W3C etc..
