Strong point.

Perhaps it would be easier to forget the idea that the rddl:nature  
directly identifies the class of the related resource. Alternatively  
the class of the related resource could be discovered by looking at  
the RDDL document e.g.

Somewhere in http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema it would indicate that
	"documents which conform to XML Schema validate according to ..."

I could change rddl2rdf.xsl to replace "rdf:type" with "rddl:nature"  
making RDDL nature a regular 'ole property of the related resource.

I am going to compose a note to www-tag discussing this issue.

Based upon feedback so far (you, Elliotte) I am thinking that perhaps  
we ought keep RDDL natures the way they have been.
