I think none of our vocabularies are currently public.

So, there's 6 classes and you talk about lot of stuff?

Good, I like (too much) sketching.

Yes, it was my fault even create it. It was too late at night to code 
that.

If you want. I don't see this as an issue. We are not using the rdf as rdf 
people think it should be used so what we win?

FF.CLink if you are going to use it as a rdf type.

I accept renaming paper to canvas2d but i don't see any reason to rename

If they are used as properties they should be x and y.
