Kevin, thanks. Is it valid to re-word this as: How can I extend an RDF vocabulary if I need to? I think the question of publishing vocabularies (as well as publishing an extension) is part of that. I could see this extending to best practices for "naming" (e.g. URI/IRIs), and perhaps even a bit about documenting.
