As the old meta elements usees already the meta prefix, we will have to 
come up with a different prefix than 'meta' or reuse the existing namespace.
As I said, it has no high priority for me and as we suggested the meta 
prefix, I reused the old namespace for now and changed the namespace 
prefix for the metadata manifest from "manifest" to "m".

Shouldn't we continue to discuss the RDF vocabulary?
BTW in Elias' IRC example about the vocabulary, has been also a new 
namespace 'odf' introduced, I used 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/2007/03/meta/rdf# as namespace for now.
