Hello All,

I'd suggest that @prefix is maybe not the best name for the attribute --
too focused on the mechanics of CURIE mapping. @vocab maybe?
I like @vocab +1 from me ;)
+1
@vocab makes indeed the most sense to me as well.
I am more convinced now that the term should be @vocab because there are
one or two things to consider first before saying lets use @profile as I
mentioned in an earlier email, @profile everywhere sounds great to me but,
* @profile is obsolete in HTML 5
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#non-conforming-features, I
think this may cause issues if RDFa is ever to become part, or an
extension of X/HTML 5.
* Authors tend to omit @profile even when they know it should be there,
will this make parsing RDFa intensive or impossible?
* Is there anything currently actively making use of @profile, If RDFa
adopts @profile everywhere will it break existing implementations?
Anyway in short its better to create something new, @vocab seems to fit
the use case of a microformat like simplicity.
It conveys the message
'here is a vocabulary from which I intend to use certain terms'.
Great summary Michael :)
Best Wishes
