While reading through the spec draft it seemed like orientation on recursion was missing, so perhaps to append to section 1. Introduction: Data and Documents: [[ GRDDL Recursion The mechanisms of GRDDL which will be described in the next section enable the interpretation of either an individual XML/HTML document or a whole class of documents as RDF. In the latter case the association between individual documents and the appropriate transformations is done indirectly through linkage (dereference over HTTP). The documents specifying which transformations to apply may themselves need transformation from an XML/HTML dialect to RDF to make this information available. Hence in the general case recursion through multiple layers of linked documents may be required to complete a faithful RDF rendition of a source document. This recursion should be transparent to end-users of GRDDL-enabled systems, but is something implementers of GRDDL-enabled systems will need to consider. ]] Given recent input, I think it would also be desirable to add an informative (at least) note for implementors somewhere, a paragraph maybe entitled: "Recursion Stopping Conditions" (If I have time after reviewing these docs I'll see if I can whip something up). Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
