Correct - the  various *.appspot.com versions of schema.org floating
around here are all experimental works in progress. The current (v1.5)
schema.org site has a prose-only notion of sub-properties.

A sub-property structure was used in the Action-related vocabulary
since last year, but yes this is the first time it has been integrated
into the navigation structure of the site (or written out explicitly
in triples). The idea with Actions was motivated in part from
experience with the earlier Activity Streams format, and a desire to
allow more customised terminology for different kinds of
actions/activities.
