RE: The RDF/A Marketing Site

Hi Jeremy,

The whole point of RDF/A is that it is a set of *attributes* that can be
overlaid onto mark-up languages to convey metadata. So it's not actually a
mark-up language in its own right. This means also that there will never be
'RDF/A documents' but rather XHTML documents that carry RDF (by using
RDF/A).

(And the fact that it has found a home in XHTML first has to do with
historical factors.)

Regards,

Mark
