Its not a bodge, more like a hole in the RDF wall that can be used later to pass things through. We don't need to decide exactly what is going to be passed through, but we do need to make sure there is a hole there somewhere. Seriously, this isn't really a technical solution: its just leaving some room in the RDF REC for solutions to be proposed in future without re-writing the REC. If we have to get a technical solution worked out in detail we will never get done; and in any case it really isn't our (ie RDF core WG's job) to work out that much technical detail, seems to me. All we need to do is to make sure that we give Webont (and others) room to maneuver when *they* work out a technical solution.
