Re: GRDDL and HTML5

Hey Ian,

First of all let me express appreciation for your consideration of this
issue (whoever "you" might be ;).

I haven't been following the HTML list(s) adequately to comment on Dan's
process points, but the notion of adding rel="transformation" as a baked-in
rel option does appear to have potential for bridging between the objectives
of HTML5 and GRDDL 1.x. (While admittedly I still see no technical
advantages over straight URI-based extensibility).

Harry is certainly right that this idea could use some testing.

One possible obstacle might be how to specify the purpose of the linked
transformation. I can't (yet?) see how the usual type="..." hint and
explicit Content-Type header could say what kind of transformation appears
at the target of the link, and what kind of processing & result is
expected/returned (i.e. the bits that come relatively cost-effective with
@profile).

Cheers,
Danny.
