If it's a popular vocabulary, it's probably been cached appropriately. If it's an edge-case vocabulary previously unseen, some small # of applications can't look up the meaning of attributes during the downtime. But parsing can still happen, RDF graphs can still be created, etc... A vocab whose host goes down regularly will likely not be used often. Selection of the fittest. -Ben
