Re: RDF/A triples without PCDATA

Bob,

Bear in mind that content="..." isn't there to make the content 
invisible, and isn't about 'real' meta vs. 'sort-of' meta.  The content 
attribute is more about cases like:

	<span property="dc:date" content="2006-03-13">yesterday</span>

If your <meta> is in the <head> then it is by default non-visible, and 
in that case there is no effective difference between

	<meta property="dc:creator" content="Bob DuCharme"/>
and
	<meta property="dc:creator">Bob DuCharme</meta>

(Actually I think we agreed that <meta> is display:none everywhere, in 
which case the equivalence isn't even restricted to the <head>.)

Best wishes,

Steven Pemberton
