about:blank and schemes w/ CURIEs

(note: topic change)

Am I correct in thinking it's only a problem for @about and @resource - 
since @href and @src don't accept CURIEs ?

This is seems like it may be the same as the http:// problem, and that 
we may have to pre-map all well known schemes such that ( "http:" -> 
"http:", "about:" -> "about:" ... ) .. ack, even if we do that the 
@prefix declaration would override the default wouldn't it - would we 
have to reserve the prefixes like xml does with xmlns, or disallow 
certain prefix mappings in RDFa / certain hosts? or?

Best,

Nathan
