Re: Can RDFa be used on XML: pharma information

The right questions:-)

- All RDFa attributes are without namespace (ie, no prefix is necessary).
- As Ralph said, the current RDFa spec is defined in terms of XHTML for
all kinds of historico-administrative reasons. The group may issue, at
some point, a document on RDFa usage in general for XML applications. I
cannot take any commitments on that, though. Note, however, that the
latest version of SVG Tiny has 'formally' adopted the same set of
attributes already
