A *minor* question on default terms...

Not to worry, my question does not have any influence on the spec:-)

During the email discussion on the '@vocab nukes it all' issue, a side-issue came up. At the moment, the URI specified for the 'license' term is http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab#license. In my view, this is certainly *not* what people would expect for this term but, rather, either a dcterms or a cc license URI.

I *know* that there are statements here and there that declare the equivalence of these terms via some vocabulary statements. But the fact of the matter is that we cannot expect RDFa processors to look these up. As a consequence, this xhtml namespaced URI will look funny.

My proposal would be that, at least in RDFa 1.1, the term 'license' would be defined as 

http://purl.org/dc/terms/license

in the initial context. 

Thoughts?
