Proposal: deprecate common things from other vocabs

Hi folks,

I would like to propose that we formaly deprecate the following things  
 from EARL, and replace them with the equivalents from better-known vocabs.

This would mean that they are no longer in the spec, although since they  
have been defined in the past we may expect them to appear from time to  
time. I don't think we need to change the namespace since we haven't  
changed their meaning. But in the published schema we might formally  
declare them as the same as their replacements. (I guess we can decide  
that seperately).

term to drop, and replacement

classes:
Person - replaced by FOAF Person

Properties
date - replaced by dublin core date
email - replaced by FOAF mbox
name - replaced by FOAF name for people, and by dublin core title for  
things

What do people think? I think we discussed this at the face to face and it  
is on the issues list, but I don't know of any formal decision being taken  
yet.

Cheers

Chaals
