We do not really have a statistics to rely on... But that important point is that a profile file can > include all these in one place Mmm...you know what? I *really* like this! I think seeAlso and sameAs have wide enough usage, and what's more, this is absolutely in the spirit of what RDFa is all about. RDFa is in many ways about giving people who /don't/ understand RDF, a way to mark up their documents such that people who /do/ understand RDF can create clever software based on the data. Semwebbers would obviously love to get access to sameAs and seeAlso information, and by making it easy for authors to provide it -- without confusing them with 'owl' this and 'rdfs' that -- many interesting possibilities open up. I think this is would be a great addition to the default profile, Ivan.
