We've closed out the last issues: https://github.com/w3c/microdata and I am ready to request publication of a Working Draft now. We think the spec is ready for CR. In particular, we have had implementors following it closely, and a lot of the work has been to bring it closer to what is already implemented interoperably. We expect to demonstrate that there are multiple implementations, both in readily available parsers and in widely deployed consumer tools such as the webmaster tools offered by Google, Microsoft and Yandex to chec microdata for schema.org. As shown by the common data crawl there is a large amount of microdata deployed on the web - primarily using a small handful of vocabularies with schema.org being the major use case. It is used in both small and large websites. Microdata is pretty weak technically in key areas like internationalisation, but we have actively discussed this and got review and, I believe, sign off on our approach from i18n, apa, as well as review by the privacy working group. In order to prepare for CR I will request formal sign off from those groups, and prepare a set of tests - as noted elsewhere in the thread, Gregg Kellogg has done a lot of work in this direction already. cheers Chaals -- Chaals: Charles (McCathie) Nevile find more at https://yandex.com Using Opera's long-abandoned mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ Is there really still nothing better?
