I am not sure what you mean by good bye cardinality.

B.t.w., though shortcuts like "a" obviously help, that is not a solution either imho. It would make turtle easier to use, that is true, although I am not sure we can have a shortcut for all the RDF and RDFS terms (except to accept the unqualified name as keyword, which would of course be a solution), but turtle is not the only syntax around...
