Thanks for your input.
Seriously, I've been wracking my brains for alternatives, but I can't
think of
anything compelling.
One lesson from the RDF/XML design is to try it out in a few examples.
The "about" attribute worked well when the element it was on was
<rdf:Description> but less well when it was a "typed node", ie.
something
like <ex:Person>, since the pseudo-English of "Description about..."
broke down.
I hope to get some time to work on examples in the next couple weeks...

Fine by me...
