be used with XSDL as a pretty neat validation utility.

 Offtopic: One thing missing from RDF - in my view - is a way to
associate resources in the RDF universe with things in the real
universe. For example, does "mailto:jimbo-@hotmail.com" represent
the URI for me or my email address in the context of the identity of a
node in a RDF graph?

I don't think it represents you. It represents something that can
accept SMTP mail. In FOAF you could be represented as the person who
owns that resource.

I don't think this is solely RDF's problem. What mechanism do I use to
associate the identifier "Jimmy Cerra" with a real thing in our
Universe?
