The rdf and rdfs namespaces are hard to remember (I always copy and paste, I guess you do too), but how do you react to the idea of deprecating those namespaces in favour of the much easier to remember http://www.w3.org/ns/rdf|s ? -1 The issue is that they're hard to remember for authors, mostly, so we'd be better off saying: * rdf and rdfs prefixes are always bound to (whatever they are :-) * rdf and rdfs prefixes may not be bound to anything else * parsers should issue a warning if a document attempts to override them Which is backward compatible, and requires little effort from library vendors.
