I am in favor of this also - and I would call it more of a 30 second job
than a 2 minute job. The problem is the fallout this would cause.
Applications reference those links and would have problems if we remove
them. It is equally as difficult to change them. I know this from
experience.
The reliance on schemas (even though no one is validating!) is one of the
many things that irk me about rdf. IMO, we could have (should have?)
produced the Registry using XML in less time and with less $$$, and all been
better off. That's my 2 cents worth...
Regards,
Harry
