That ties in with 

  Now, if you're developing a technology that you want to interoperate
  with other technologies that have adopted namespaces for global name
  disambiguation and RDF for describing semantic relationships, I might
  encourage you to use those technologies as well. I might even express
  the opinion that I think you should.

But that doesn't prevent someone independent of any particular
organization from making any choices they please.

                                        Be seeing you,
