Two comments here:
1) It's probably better to add a get_properties() to
semi_rdf.py that returns a list of all matched
Could be used for the maintainers check in
the validation as well.
2) I don't think we should entirely skip the validation;
because people will a) make typos (Say use #binding
instead of #bindings) b) make up stuff
like:
http://api.gnome.org/doap-extensions#music-player
So, the compromise would be to check that if it starts
with http://api.gnome.org/doap-extensions it has
to be one of our real categories.
