At this point, I think the most helpful thing that could be done for
HTML4 (and I'm really only talking about it, at the moment) is to come
up with some helpful, global (i.e., not RDFa-specific) conventions for
reuse.
E.g., a profile URI whose semantics is "all link relations in this
document that have a colon in them are (syntactic) URIs." That would be
less ambiguous than what the Link appendix proposes now, and also opt-in.
HTML 4 says that one might use profiles as
"A globally unique name. User agents may be able to recognize
the name (without actually retrieving the profile) and perform
some activity based on known conventions for that profile."
The CURIE syntax working draft says:
"Therefore the syntax for carrying a CURIE when there is any
possibility of ambiguity is to enclose the CURIE in square
brackets,"
Instead of speculating how it eventually could be made to happen,
what if one could just do this:
<HEAD profile="[wiki]">
<link rel="[wiki]" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"; >
