It's missing out on the idea of having a schema which can cross
contexts.  Right now each schema – with the exception of AXSchema.org
– has no concept of namespaces and stands alone.  We've always wanted
a schema which uses URLs to identify each element, but there haven't
been any.  Maybe Portable Contacts wants to take this on since it is
also used by OpenSocial?
