Isn't that kind of throwing in the towel? Maybe it's like saying
browsers should do their best to render everything they find ... vs
give an error for non-well-formed XML.
I wish the TAG would/could resolve something like:
Some form of indirection (eg fragments, http redirects) SHOULD be
used between the URIs for things which are not
sandro:InformationResources and things which are, so that each
resource can be easily distinguished from web-accessible
information about it.

Perhaps to http://xmlns.com/wordnet/2.0/Hoary_Marmot/about
which is content-negotated to
http://xmlns.com/wordnet/2.0/Hoary_Marmot/about.rdf
to get the current data.
Or index.rdf like Patrick suggests.

Except my love for this thread. <sigh> :-)
