Worst case, if the group prefers a meaningful label, I'd prefer /annotation/ over /openannotation/. I suppose 'open' does not add much info in the context of a W3C namespace. Such a change would also tell something about the maturity and ambition of the initiative :-)

It will be the number of terms that will count (in contrast to the number of extensions in the case of a '#' approach).


Sorry Ivan I've been unclear--and typed one slash too many. I meant:
http://www.w3.org/ns/annotation#BLABLA
http://www.w3.org/ns/annotation/ext1#BLABLA
