What is the added value of an extension in such case?
Please give an example of what you mean? For somebody that doesn't use RDF
tools, doing anything with RDF doesn't seem simple at all.
<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>
...
<extension xmlns='http://xmlns.example.org'/>
</entry>
Since this is a simple extension element (by syntax), it must be metadata
about the entry (by definition). Any Atom+RDF tool should be able to create
RDF triples out of that without issues.
Out of what? You have defined an element with a different namespace but
how does it convey any of the information an atom:category conveys? I'd
be happy to try to give an example in comparison to yours but I don't
understand how you provide the same amount of information here.
Or perhaps your extension here means that the entire set of category
elements of that entry will abide rules described by this extension. Is
that correct? If so, could you use several distinc extensions?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your entire point, in that case, my apology.
