Hey folks, I'm catching up on the minutes from today, looks like a productive meeting, very nice. I am a little bit concerned about supporting plain CURIEs in @about, @href, and @resource. For one, the use case is *very* limited, since the whole point of prefixes is to reuse vocabularies, and that applies to predicates, not to subjects and objects. Also, we want to continue to support relative URIs in @about, just like @href (and the spec for @href isn't about to change), and that's not very easy to do if we allow plain CURIEs, too. So I think we should be as conservative as possible with this change. Allowing absolute URIs in @rel, @property, @typeof, and @datatype makes sense, but generalizing the "other way" to let @about and @resource (and @href) carry plain CURIEs does not, in my opinion, because of important existing uses for those attributes. -Ben
