Good point. We made the commitment not to change the context file often, so I did not make a change yet. Manu, should we introduce this change now and make it official? Are there other additions that we may want to consider? If we change this, we will have to make some tam-tam around it; implementers should be notified. (Eg, two W3C Recs are coming up, namely prov and sparql, both have some vocabulary additions; those may be added right away, ie, as soon as PR is up) Ivan On Mar 1, 2013, at 17:11 , Dan Brickley <danbri@danbri.org> wrote: > +cc Antoine > > Where are we with this?

If we accept this change, when should we do this? We are bound by a promise not to make changes often. I would therefore propose to make this change when html5+rdfa goes to CR. Tom, this would be sometimes January-February time range.
