Data injection by whom? To what end? Who gets hurt by this "injection?" Who is the attacker and who is the victim? Take a situation as follows: <head> <!-- a bunch of RDFa --> </head> and the following situation: <head> <link rel="alternate" href="some-rdf.xml" /> </head> What's different about these two situations? What mischief is enabled by the RDFa case that isn't already enabled by the <link rel> case? > I would recommend leaving RDFa technology out of the <head> of HTML > however, because I can not see any audience benefits to > counterbalance the potential mischief. There are plenty of benefits to RDFa in the <head>, actually. Bob DuCharme has outlined a number of them on this list in the past, in particular regarding content annotation for content management systems. I still don't see the mischief you're talking about. Please give us a more detailed use case, maybe a precise example of how someone might get harmed, and by whom. I'm particularly confused by who's doing the "injection".
