Oh, I was not trying to argue with that. It just should be clear that what you 
try to do is a statement about FOAF and vCard as well as it is a statement 
about your wiki. The reason that it is not supported is the fact that the 
current import architecture does not at all foresee this, and would need much 
reworking to make this possible. Also note that the vocabulary imports are 
not making a statement of equality/equivalence between two URIs -- they just 
syntactically replace a URI in the export. Having two equivalent external 
URIs requires a completely different approach there.

Markus
