Don't get caught up in the term "Resource". I am sorry that it is used, but
so be it. I am not sure that the term "Resource" has any real meaning, but
it is thrown about on the Web. Note that the RFC 2396 (URI) usage of the
term "Resource" means anything that has a URI. Namespaces are named using
URIs hence the term "Resource". There is nothing other to read into this.
RDDL does not intend to be RDF.

What do you mean by "appropriate"? If somewhat writes a software program in
Java that processes mixed namespaces, would that be "appropriate"? Either it
can or cannot be done. Henry has shown that it can be done. Simple.
"Appropriate"ness has no bearing. What is the real issue?
