Well, yes, according to Hixie. Except, as I already responded, this was a bug in one of Yahoo's user-facing pages they had, not in the actual RDFa parser they use for their actual SearchMonkey pages (which is, in fact, based on one of the RDFa task force's parsers.) My point remains: there have been long, verbose claims of namespace aware vs. non-namespace aware API calls, how it will require browser changes, etc... and in practice, *it doesn't matter*. If browsers choose not to fix this, RDFa parsers can address this with *one* "if" statement. I have trouble seeing these so-called problems you raise as anything more than theoretical. In all of the actual RDFa implementations to date, no one's complained. -Ben
