@prefix discussion status

   benadida: Wanted to have a meta-discussion on @prefix.
   ... Should we hold off on the @prefix discussion?

   Steven: AC meeting was good because we got to talk about all of the
   companies that were using XHTML2.

   benadida: There seemed to be a big disconnect between WHATWG/HTML5
   and the ideas and usage behind XHTML2.
   ... If you are going to support extensibility in HTML5, how are you
   going to ignore all previous XML technologies?

   prefix="a=b c = d"

   <Ralph> [23]previous @prefix discussion

     [23] http://www.w3.org/2009/04/02-rdfa-minutes.html#item03

   <Ralph> <ShaneM> (.*)[\s\r\n]*=[\s\r\n]*(.*?)[\s\r\n]+

   <Ralph> ^Shane proposed that regex

   Manu: After the discussion last week, I think we agreed on Shane's
   regex.

   ACTION: Manu to update wiki page on current consensus for @prefix
   [recorded in
   [24]http://www.w3.org/2009/04/16-rdfa-minutes.html#action15]

   benadida: What do you think about @xmlns over @prefix?

   Manu: Prefer @prefix because of HTML4 and xmlns: might be confusing
   to web developers.

   Ralph: Might be interesting to see how HTML4->HTML5 conversion
   process works.
   ... The SVG folks have the same issues with xmlns not being in
   HTML5.

   benadida: So this issue is much bigger than RDFa.

   Ralph: Yes, it has to do with general extensibility.

   benadida: @prefix wiki page should say it is an alternate prefix
   mapping mechanism.

   Ralph: There is a danger in confusing authors by having two
   mechanisms to do the same thing.

   benadida: So if we have a syntax, we can back-burner it and see what
   happens with the xmlns discussion.

Report on AC meeting

   benadida: Kinda talked a bit about this already.

   Ralph: Yes, interested in hearing your take on it.

   benadida: Very positive meeting in tone and approach, Sam Ruby is a
   good guy.

Task Force lifespan

   benadida: How much time does the task force have?

   Ralph: The end of June is the charter.

   Steven: XHTML2 charter is up in December 2009.

   Ralph: It could be June-December, depending on who continues to
   sponsor RDFa Task Force.
   ... I think we should consider June the adjournment date.
   ... We could turn the mailing list into an RDFa interest group,
   maybe fold it back into semantic web interest group.

   benadida: We should think about any last things we should think
   about as a task force.
