ISSUE-41, Decentralized extensibility: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/41 OK, I'm stretching it. But I think that ISSUE-120 has to be seen in relationshiop to ISSUE-41. ISSUE-41 has 3 proposals: a) drop the whole issue - Ian's route, b) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0077.html http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/extensionslikesvg and c) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0076.html http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/html:xmlns b) and c) both allows namespaces amd prefixes in HTML, under different restrictions. a) is not accepted yet, but it will probably accepted in the end. b) is accepted as proposal by the chairs c) is a proposal by yours truly - it is not accepted by the chairs yet. So I would recommend the RDFa WG to not look blindly at ISSUE-120 but to also look at ISSUE-41. For my own part, if you find that my proposal, c), is any good, then I'd appreciate encouragement to update it. If I don't update it, then I expect the chairs to not accept it. (Pew, finally I found a way to ask this question ...) I'm happy to drop it, due to time constrain and everything ... So at the moment, I think the RDFa communityt should consider first of all if solution b) could bring to RDFa+HTML what you need and want. (I know that I think solution b) _perhaps_ could represent a simplificaiton of the use of prefixes - in HTML. But you really rather read and judge for yourself - I perhaps haven't understood it. But you will find that it mentions RDFa. -- leif halvard silli HTMLwg participant
