Sigh...:-( As an alternative... This document, as a Rec, defines an XHTML1 variant, ie, is based on XHTML1. I am not sure it would be appropriate to discuss non XHTML1 issues *within the document* (let alone the fact that this would slow down the progress of the document on Rec path). What about planning for a separate WG Note instead that would give information on how these attributes can be used in a non-XHTML1 setting. Such an informative note would be of a great value... (I know that we were playing of defining the attributes without any reference to any host language; that note would be somewhere between the two). I guess the issue about HTML5 is the question of extensibility, ie, of validation. (And I do not think there is a clear view on that in the HTML group either.) *If* this issue is put aside, the RDFa specification could be used with (well, invalid) HTML5 documents when using HTML5's XML serialization. There is nothing, as far as I can see, in the process description of the RDFa attributes that would be dependent on a particular HTML in XML version, it just describes things in terms of a DOM tree operation. I am not sure about the non-XML HTML5, simply because I lack the necessary knowledge on how this is handled with no DOM tree around... Just my 2 cents...
