Re: Automotive, EXIF, Property-Values

I just changed Bike to Bicycle in the codebase, pull-request, and W3C Wiki proposal.

@Dan: As per our discussion, the pull request is still based on danbri:sdo-venkman, not sdo-stanz. If it helps a lot, I could migrate the pull request, but I actually think it will be less effort to do a merge on your end; the necessary manual clean-up should be minimal or none.

We either end up namespacing by adding words into names and maintain the flat schema, or we do something to structure it and break what we said before.
