I'm in a hurry, so can fill in later if necessary, but imagine you 
reference a resource in content.

<meta:field meta:resource="http://ex.net/1"; 
meta:property="http://ex.net/foo"/>

You want to know what to display for that resource; right?

I am saying it can be as simple as this in the RDF/XML:

	<rdf:value>Jane Doe</rdf:value>

But using schemas, you can also declare other properties (say 
vcard:name) as sub properties of rdf:value.

XForms won't work for more complicated rendering stuff, BTW; for 
example, my citations.
