Re: Prefix for http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ in RDFa Initial Context?

Manu, 

maybe this is one of those issues that do not require telco time and can be formally voted on the mailing list. See my mail:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2013Mar/0015.html

the only difference between then and now is that SPARQL is actually a Rec already, and PROV is in PR. And we are not obliged to wait for the publication of the RDFa PR for this...
