- Order of elements may be used to indicate priority order
- If identifiers are treated as CURIEs, then the CURIE must start with one of
the indicated prefixes followed by `:` (_should_ start if the list is open)
- If identifiers are treated as URIs, then the URI string must start with the
expanded for of the prefix (_should_ start if the list is open)
