Hmm... I can't parse that; does rdf:ID work that way? If it meas the same
as this, then we're on the same wavelength:
  <creator>
    <rdf:Description rdf:about="#rfc3120N._Walsh">
      <foaf:name>N. Walsh</foaf:name>
    </rdf:Description>
  </creator>

Yes, bingo.

Right.

Yes; and we manually maintain a list of our TR editors, so maintaining 
URIs for them
only makes sense.

Dan, trying out Thunderbird on a Mac
hmm... it doesn't seem to have a "bcc on all outgoing mail" option, a 
requirement of mine.
