> Feedback on the current draft would be appreciated: > http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/specs/rdfa.html Alas, this specification also fails to fit within the charter of the HTML working group also. While it does supply a mechanism to permit RDFa to be mixed into HTML documents, thus actually addressing *one* of the examples given, the charter encourages *a* mechanism for mixing independently developed vocabularies. (For those who need clarification: in English, the use of the indefinite article "a" in "a mechanism, indicates the singular: one, not "one or more" not "several" not "one for each".) The HTML+RDFa doesn't address how to mix any other independently developed vocabulary into HTML documents -- not any of the other two examples given in the charter, (ITS and Ruby) nor any others. Do you think it is possible to use the method proposed here for RDF to apply to any other vocabulary? Could the Microdata vocabulary be put into a namespace and then used through this extensibility mechanism? Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
