Ah, thanks Al, I see. There are two different problems being considered here. Some folks want to define URI (ref)'s that correspond to an arbritary qname. RDF is trying to do something different. Given I've got a URIREF, e.g. http://www.w3.org/....#type RDF wants to write that down as a qname. I've got no problem with folks wanting to do the former. I understood Jonathan's objection was to RDF's way of doing the latter. But maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick. Brian
