Problem is, as I see it, that ontologies like schema.org are designed 
for a specific purpose.

Seems backwards to me to support segmentation of communication like 
that: HTML was invented as a means to _unify_ the needs for exchanging 
documents, and RDF to do the same for data more generally.  Your idea 
seems to try go the opposite direction and encourage single-purpose 
sub-languages of RDF.
