It is, indeed; thanks for the report.

Indeed; ""what, exactly, goes here"" would be a URI, which should be
dereferenceable and have an XSLT representation that would take the
metadata element and make them part of a list of RDF statements.

(this "just extract the content of a metadata element" interpreter has
already been developed for some use case; I can't put my hand on it
right now, though)

Actually, each XSLT style sheet is supposed to be a representation of a
given algorithm; practically speaking, it means that the URI identifies
an algorithm, and when dereferenced, you get an actual implementation of
this algorithm in XSLT.

I'll try to have a look sometime this week, but can't promise yet.

I guess you could use XPointer to do so, e.g.
<rdf:Description rdf:about="#xpointer(svg/rect)">...
although I'm not sure whether the semantics of XPointer are right for
this.
