Gregg, just a quick reply from my phone, more details tomorow... What I tried to say is that the old behaviour of typeof remains valid outside my points. Ie, <div about="foo" typeof="Bar"/> does assign type to foo. Same behaviour also if typeof is the only one. Also, my goal was to keep rel and property as close as possible to one another... See you tomorrow...

The advantage is that there is no difference between @rel/@rev on the one hand and @property on the other hand with respect to @typeof. Of course, what I called the 'minimalist' change for @property, as you described on the wiki, remains valid, too. > > I think we break a lot if <div about="foo" typeof="Bar"/> does not assign the type to <foo>.
