Quick interjection here as I've just returned from vacation: why are we having this discussion again? We've gone through these issues of stream-able parsing, copy/pastability and such a number of times before. It's important to point out that, early in the days of RDFa, we tried to find a way to hack a URLorCURIE approach, but we hit the same wall that folks have hit for a while regarding the URI vs. QName issue (even though CURIEs are not QNames, they have similar syntax.) Yes, you can come up with some special-case rules, but they are ugly and backwards incompatible with browsers. I suspect we're about to revisit these same issues again, without evidence to justify this work except issues of personal preference. -Ben
