Well for the demo we needed to ship over a user's kitchen preferences, so
XML-vCard, etc. wouldn't work. So we ship over RDF instance data. And then
you'll ask me what the attribute namespace is. We rolled our own for the
purpose of the demo, but it was yet another example of why we need
identityschemas.org. Rolling our own was the *last* thing we wanted to do.
