Aaron is right.

But I think that the "who changes name" decision should be taken in
such way that it causes the less possible trouble.

Being the RDF line the one that proposes the most change, it looks
clear to me that it should be the one taking a new name.

You see, taking the "RDF" line always causes some technical change
and then name is just a small issue.

But the "simplicity" line can evolve without the need for ANY change
from its users. So, it is the one that can be left undisturbed.


Have fun,
Paulo
