Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

Section 6, now section 4.5, has been changed to be normative:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100502/diff-20100304.html#infoset-based-processors

Section 7, now section 4.6, has been changed to be normative:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100502/diff-20100304.html#dom-level-2-based-processors

Rationale:

These two sections were informative because we don't want to specify
implementation details on how the values are extracted. The language is fairly
generic and only discusses the Infoset and DOM2 elements, not parser/processor
implementation details. Since there is a SHOULD level requirement, it may not
be as dangerous as it started out. Let's try this and see if anyone complains.
