David, Of course we'd love to eventually make RDFa validate in HTML. That said, we're taking this one step at a time: our group was chartered only for XHTML1.1+RDFa. The RDFa syntax is defined in a DOM-based way, which makes it extremely simple to port to non-XML HTML. In addition, just about every existing RDFa tool you see will work quite well on HTML4 documents. I'm actually not sure where the extra DTDs you found came from, but I'm perfectly happy they were built :) The point is that we'd love to see this happen, but it's going to take some more lobbying and discussions with the HTML5 folks. -Ben David Peterson wrote: > Ben, > > You mentioned that the spec only exists for XHTML1.1 now, but this page [1] > lists a spec for HTML 4.01 [2].
