OK, but this can be a one-liner in the spec.

Same here - useful comment that can be easily implemented via a one-liner in the spec.
Note 1: There are cases where both the primary and the secondary types come from schema.org. But that will work just fine.
Note 2: As far as I understand the MD spec, even the usage of external properties via fully qualified URIs must be permitted in the MD processing rules of the respective MD vocabulary. So while standard MD parsers will typically tolerate all possible external properties via fully qualified URIs, this has to be defined in the MD processing rules and is thus a vocabulary-specific MD feature.
