Purely admin issue (Re: The next HTML+RDFa Heartbeat)

This has been a long thread with cross-mailing lists usage. This also included the rdfa working group mailing list and, I presume, many who have sent a mail are not subscribed to that list. As a consequence, some of the mails ended up on the moderator's (ie mine) mailbox waiting for the original submitters to go through the unfortunate-but-necessary anti-spam measures. I decided to redirect all the hold up mails to the public-rdfa-wg list manually which, though messed up the threads slightly, made at least the thread complete for those who read only one of the mailing lists...

(After all, bug 7670 is about one of the central concerns raised about RDFa in the HTML WG.)

Why aren't HTML+RDFa and SVG+RDFa direct deliverables of the RDFa WG if the RDFa WG is de facto defining the normative constraints on the specs?
