Re: ISSUE: @href anywhere/implementation

On the question of implementation, I just checked with the mainstream  
browsers, and href on a span correctly is ignored. So the Joost case of

	<span rel="dc:subject" href="http://film-vocab/horror">Category:  
Horror</span>

doesn't do anything unexpected.

XHTML doesn't assign a meaning to href on span.
XHTML says attributes should be ignored if the UA doesn't know them.
Current browsers ignore it.

I don't think authors will expect href on a span to create a clickable  
link, because they expect the <a> element to do that.

There are other elements with href on (link, base) that don't create a  
clickable link.
