Can you explain what what you mean by 'name' is in the above sentence?
The RDF/XML example above uses the rdf:value as a 'default' value for
a particular resource. In the above case this is useful when
applications consume this snippet of data but don't really know
anything about the foaf properties (think 'alt' attribute associated
with HTML 'img' element). I'm wondering if this serves the same
function as what you mean by 'name'?
