Re: Adding QUDT to RDFa Initial Context

Looking at this data [1] that is referenced in the initial context, I see
that:

   dc11 http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
   schema http://schema.org

aren't in the original data used to support the list of "common"
vocabularies.

Obviously, a strategic choice was made to include schema.org.  Also,
including both namespaces for the Dublin Core Metadata Terms makes a lot of
sense even though only one was found in the data.

I'm quite fine with these things being here but they stand as example of
not being widely used when they were added.

Also, in [1] there is a qualitative judgment being made in step 2.2. and
ical should have been removed per:

"Vocabularies defined through a W3C Recommendation or Working/Interest
Group Note (those are part of a default profile “ex officio”)"

and then possibly added back by whatever being part of 'default profile “ex
officio”' means.

I'm fine with waiting to see how QUDT is adopted but I'm now concerned
about the overall process of deciding what goes into the initial context.

"The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the
inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language
considered."
