A couple of related observations: 1) The RDFa spec says: > Note that it is generally considered a good idea not to use relative > paths in namespace declarations, but since it is possible that an > author may ignore this guidance, it is further possible that the URI > obtained from a CURIE is relative. However, since all URIs must be > resolved relative to [base] before being used to create triples, the > use of relative paths should not have any effect on processing. http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-syntax/#s_convertingcurietouri This seems to be in conflict with XML architecture where the values of xmlns:foo are opaque strings that are absolute URIs by convention. 2) The CURIE spec itself doesn't appear to define CURIE processing-- just syntax. 3) OWL rejected CURIEs. The reasons are explained at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html-editor/2009AprJun/0009.html -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
