I think that would be fine. In my opinion (Dave Booth may disagree) the 
'rdf' in the namespace also makes the use of hash URIs (as used now in 
the conversion) OK. But for me, the most important thing is that the 
namespace is _stable_.

Additional comment to the document [1]: In my previous review, I had 
mainly looked at the document itself.  I just had a brief look at the 
rdf files themselves and I think the sheer size is worthwhile 
discussing.  The various files add now up to over 150MB uncompressed 
RDF/XML, when loaded in SWI-Prolog it gives a memory footprint of over 
300MB.
I think it is usefull to
- at least mention the footprint so users are warned
- compare the footprint to the other conversions, explain the difference 
and argue what the benefits are
- think about the possibillity for a lean and mean version.

If most users end up ingnoring this version because other versions are 
so much smaller, this would be in strong conflict with the second "it 
should be convenient to work with" requirement mentioned in [1].
