The social web specification made pragmatic compromises. The chevra had deployment pressure and existing implementations to consider. They chose velocity over semantic precision.
We are not under such constraints. We are writing a specification that may last decades. If we have the opportunity to do this properly — to connect to existing vocabulary rather than reinventing it — we should take it.
The fact that others have cut corners does not obligate us to do the same.
