Meh. Somehow, "RDF" seems to be the cop-out answer du jour for
extending ODF - while being a badly-supported,
unclear-semantics-while-editing, and mostly structure-less approach
in practice.

Truth told, RDF was designed for a specific purpose (annotating and
representing information for resources in the web).

Use RDF for what it's been designed for, craft extensibility into
ODF via other means.

Thanks for your detailed report anyway!
