True. Also, I don't know if we want to put a proviso in the spec that states that default URI mappings will never change. Placing such a proviso in there could be an issue with vocabularies like Dublin Core, that have changed their URL from: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ to http://purl.org/dc/terms/ but ensured the vocabulary was backwards-compatible. Maybe we could say that default URI mappings will always map to the most recent version of a vocabulary, or a backwards-compatible implementation of a vocabulary? This could protect future versions of RDFa from vocabulary rot or implosions of large companies (like Google or Yahoo or Lehman Brothers). -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: PaySwarming Goes Open Source http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2010/02/01/bitmunk-payswarming/
