| CURIEs are lexically different from QNames:

Different, or a superset?

| With "cat" defined as "http://iptc.org/category/" (it's an example),
| consider:  <iptc:subject code="cat:15000000" />
|
| "cat:15000000", after being expanded to "http://iptc.org/category/15000000",
| could unambiguously identify the concept "Sport".

But wouldn't

  <iptc:subject code="cat:sport" />

mean that "cat:sport", after being expanded to "http://iptc.org/category/sport",
could unambiguously identify the concept "Sport"?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
