That's the system of the "microdata" proposal, which is what Ian Hixie (HTML5 editor) added to their spec after long and sometimes heated discussion with members of the RDFa community. It is based on RDFa but with various adjustments and changes. Discussion is ongoing as to whether it's a good thing, a travesty, a step in the right direction, or whatever. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html http://ajaxian.com/archives/hixie-discusses-the-addition-of-html5-microdata http://fberriman.com/2009/05/24/html5-microdata-over-cooked/ Here's another example: <div item> <p>My name is <span itemprop="name">Neil</span>.</p> <p>My band is called <span itemprop="band">Four Parts Water</span>.</p> <p>I am <span itemprop="nationality">British</span>.</p> </div> The "item" piece here is non-XML HTML. I'm not sure how it would be written in HTML5's XML version (but it clearly won't copy/paste well into XML environments). hope this helps, Dan
