Valid XHTML and Faithful Infoset redflag - stated (semi) formally

The nice thing about the informative, mechanical rules / terms is that I
can attempt to state (semi-formally) the concern with the notion of a
dependence on XHTML validity as criteria for the appropriate family of
documents against which GRDDL applies.

Namespace bindings:

jc: ->
http://blog.jclark.com/2007/04/validation-not-necessarily-harmful.html#


Define a relationship jc:validWRT between an XML and schema it conforms
to.  

Define an enumerated class xhtml:SanctionedDTD which (necessarily and
sufficiently) comprises of the 'sanctioned' DTD's which determine XHTML
validity - in Manchester OWL [1]:

Class xhtml:SanctionedDTD
EquivalentClass: 
 { <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd>
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Frameset>
 } 

Define a class xhtml:Document defined (necessarily and sufficiently) as
the class of documents which have a jc:validWRT relationship between
them and a W3C sanctioned XHTML DTD - in Manchester OWL:

Class: xhtml:Document
EquivalentClass: ( jc:validWRT some xhtml:SanctionedDTD)

Define a class of xhtml:NotValidDocument which is the complement of
xhtml:Document:

Class: xhtml:NotValidDocument
DisjointWith: xhtml:Document

Define a class of GRDDL source documents which consist (neccessarily and
sufficiently) of IR from which you can glean a GRDDL result per GRDDL
spec :

Class grddl:SourceDocument
EquivalentClass: ( grddl:result some grddl:RDFGraph )

Is it the case that xhtml:NotValid is owl:disjointWith
grddl:SourceDocument?

I.e., should the definition of grddl:SourceDocument be:

Class grddl:SourceDocument
EquivalentClass: ( grddl:result some grddl:RDFGraph )
DisjointWith: xhtml:NotValid

This would only be the case if XHTML validity was an additional
criteria : a direction which differs from the faithful infoset
resolution of not mandating behavior WRT to XML validity.
