Whoa there Fallacious McParaphrasey! I certainly never said that users were idiots. I don't think I've ever held that position (broad as it is) and if it's come across as that, then that's not what I think. I do think that most web designers don't take the time to understand the nuances in the languages that they use - sometimes out of negligence, but most often because they are pressed for time or don't care enough about going further than just getting the site working. One of the goals of @prefix was to keep the same level of expressive power as xmlns:, but to re-use a mechanism that they're used to - the attribute='value' pattern. -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: A Collaborative Distribution Model for Music http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/04/04/collaborative-music-model/
