Heh, that's a whole long argument. In brief: I should have put a copy of
the ontology there (I meant to, just never got round to it), and that
means that if/when a human finds a ladspa rdf file in the wild, they can
type it in the namespace and find a copy of the ontology (with human
readable notes in it) that explains what it is.
If you use a tag: URI, or something else unresolvable then you dont have
the option to look it up, ever. But, if you use HTTP then you can put
something there, should you want to.
