And once again, RDDL try to solve it the wrong way, by its assumption that
resource description and linking has something to do with namespaces. If
RDDL was NDL (Namespace Description Language), there would be no problem.
You would describe namespaces and link to resources to those namespaces. But
as I wrote earlier, I don't think that RDDL is appropriate to handle
resources that contain mixed namespaces.
