It's also not valid CSS syntax I believe, as identifiers cannot contain
the | character. (Not to mention that namespace prefixes can only be used
in selectors, and that url(..) *can't* be used in selectors).

In short, it seems much more useful to define a simple, easy to type
syntax that's purely for RDF, rather than trying to squash the CSS syntax
itself to fit.
