Absolutely right... I thought I had made that change, actually, but I
might have only fixed it in one place...  I'll look again.

this is legacy cruft.  In the beginning, there was only "moby", and then
we split the project into two branches "moby-s" and "s-moby".  It was
impractical (impossible?) to update all the various pieces of
documentation in all the various locations, so... they were generally
left as-is, and the correct namespace-of-the-moment is whatever is coded
in the libraries at any given time.  This is subject to change... and in
fact, will change again fairly soon since we are now describing
everything in the moby-s ontologies project as RDF Resources, which have
their own namespace URI's.
