Ok, noted and will fix.

Good.

I think the editors already know, I've emailed them about this.

Yes, but it would still be allowed as a node element, like in the
schema case, i.e. there will be something like

  <rdf:Description rdf:about="&rdfns;nil">
    <rdfs:Label>nil</rdfs:Label>
    ...
  </rdf:Description>

in the rdf-namespace RDF schema.  Not a class, just a resource
