Since namespaces won't do, a question on (other) hacks and how effective
they can be. I'm interested on 'per type' or 'per property' validation.
Suppose I have an RDF schema accessible on-line, can I just use rdf:type
from within instances of Objects to point to their validation module.
No?

Thanks for any pointers,
