I don't like that very much.

A good RDF predicate is one that fits naturally into the following two
phrases:

 "has ..."
 "is ... of"

For example

 "has homepage"
 "is homepage of"

But consider:

 "has usesVocabulary"
 "is usesVocabulary of"

Anything wrong with <http://www.w3.org/ns/rdfa#vocab>? That way the
predicate matches the name of the attribute.
