Stuart - these names map onto what we used in the Core Model (for consistency).
("resource" should be "name" for actions)

We could change the model and use the same term for all (that reference to a URI)?

We use id/idref purely as an internal XML linking mechanism.
(these attributes should be prefixed with "xml:")

Will this be more work for implementors, as we would have to define these elements as containing both URIs and CURIES?

I can understand using them for a micro-format?
