Has anyone considered having an URI in an entity in order to avoid typing it

e.g.

Yes, we did discuss this at great length in the RDFa community and to a
lesser extent in the Microformats community. The Microformats community
decided to not use namespaces at all, and the RDFa community ended up
using CURIEs for URI expression. RDFa specifically did not choose QNames
for the following reasons:
1. We believe QNames should not be used in attribute values.
Out of curiosity: why use CURIEs but not QNames (I understand the other
differences, I also understand why QNames in content are problematic,
but why is the situation different for CURIEs????).
