Excellent, practical suggestion! Amidst all the other discussion, I don't think this suggestion got the attention that it deserved. I would add one more requirement also: * parsers should issue a warning if rdf: or rdfs: are used with terms that are not defined in the RDF or RDFS specs (respectively). That would detect mistakes like writing rdf:label instead of rdfs:label. David
