Re: RDFa Last Call Comment: Better name than 'instanceof' is needed

I personally like @kindof - however note that in American English, "kind 
of" is slang for "maybe that is true" - as in "Did you like the dinner I 
made?"  "Kind of."  I know, horrifying.  People also say "sort of".  I 
don't mind - just a data point.
