I sincerely hope not. Using > that, how would you determine the meaning of the DC vocabulary? It's also worth bearing in mind that Web sites get hacked from time to time. W3C gets attacked regularly (but is pretty robust). The FOAF servers were compromised a year or two back (but the xmlns.com site was untouched). For a while, foaf-project.org was serving evil PHP and ugly links, as was my own home page. This kind of mischief should be kept in mind by anyone building a system that assumes you'll get canonical meaning from an HTTP GET... cheers, Dan
