Yes, maybe it would be better  -

"Property names must be associated with a schema. This can
be done by qualifying the element names with a namespace
prefix to unambiguously connect the property definition with
the corresponding RDF schema or by declaring a default
namespace as specified in [NAMESPACES]."

A Property Name must have a home
It's qualified, as you must know
By a prefix for some good schema
Or its namespace will be a default.

You're on to something, Rick!

(With apologies to any real poets).

Cheers,
