I had played around with something like this to see how complicated it might be. I am not sure if it is useful but: http://www.rddl.org/tddl is a RDDL description of a "Terminology Definition and Description Language" and http://www.rddl.org/tddl-tddl is the same language described in TDDL. Rather than an ID you could use a <tddl:Class about="ns.."/> construct and multiple ones if desired. To be clear, these documents are _not_ part of RDDL, are experimental and are for discussion only. -Jonathan
