And if you're a Container, you can't expect every Gadget to understand 
them.

In which case I'd recommend that everyone uses and expects the foaf and 
vcard namespaces.

vcard http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#
foaf http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/

and probably

geo http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos
dc http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

But only use these as well as elements from gd, not instead of.
