Re: Adding QUDT to RDFa Initial Context

QUDT is a very useful vocab. There's a chicken-egg issue and I totally
understand that it isn't the WG's job to be either of those. But if it
does take off, I would endorse it being added to a default context
and/or used in RDFa examples. In fact, the latter would be *great*.
