Well it can't be if you also want to use it as an RDF property. The @xmlns use of a URI is different from the use of a URI when you put it in your browser or when you use it in RDF. Similarly, yes, the Link header specification could do something like what @xmlns is doing. But in that case, it won't be compatible with RDF. (You'd have to choose, one or the other.) > I'd rather have this specification not go near this whole discussion That'd be fine by me, and I'd be happy with reversed domain names which are anyway incompatible with RDF. But you raised RDF compatibility in response, and I'm just pointing out that if this is to be so then such compatibility should be done carefully and thoroughly. There may be other ways to avoid the hornets' nests, of course. But the specification should at least be clear about whatever it allows. > Can you cite a document that states that an RDF property is not an > Information Resource? Sure: Webarch, ยง 2.2.
