Re: a clarification?

This was not, of course cheating - RDF defines the URI of a property
represented for example by XML element <foo .../> in
namespace uuid:xxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx# to be the concatenation
uuid:xxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx#foo
and so most RDF namespaces end with a #, but the could end with a /
or even a _

Erring on the side of flexibility, you might say.

But as the namespace soec didn't specify the ay to do that it had to decide
something.

It isn't justthatRDF makes assertions about resources. The verb, as well as
the subject
and often the object are resources.  So the mapping from element name to URI
is cricial
for RDF's use of XML as a serialization.
