That's fine - anyone that wants a URI to reference an XML structure 
can make and RDF assertion about the structure.

A cynic might point out that at this juncture the vendors have to be 
seen to get their act together on the specification front - 
customers and analysts are far from happy with how WS technology is

evaluating a specification on the merits of the underlying 
technology in question might be beneficial for all concerned.
