http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-validating-embedded-rdf Issue: RDF has an "open grammar, which is harder to validate simply (and nigh on impossible to do properly with DTDs). - Syntax validation within the context of RDF embedded in other XML grammars would be easier if the RDF syntax were only of the 'Fixed-Schema' variety, see [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2001Apr/0346.html ]. Currently, the propertyElt construct, and abbreviated forms of RDF are of the 'Schema-follows-data' variety. Proposal: The WG resolves to postpone this issue for later consideration on the grounds that it is out of scope of its current charter to change the current RDF/XML syntax to the extent necessary to address this issue. The WG notes however that validation may be helped with various submitted (non-normative) XML schemas for RDF/XML pointed to at present in the editors draft at http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Schemas (Thanks to DaveB for the proposal - wordsmithed a bit by Brian) Brian
