I'm not insisting on 'grammatically correct', but just afraid of confusion and misuse. Perhaps, coords for circle and ellipse is OK because there isn't much room for misunderstanding. But for rectangle or box, 'coords' implies points, not length, thus 'x1,y1 x2,y2', at least for me. People quite often use vocabulary, not by consulting spec or schema, but just looking at someone's instance and his/her understanding of the property name. This happens for RDFical 'dtend' or ev:enddate, which is defined as 'non inclusive end of event' (i.e. the day after the final date), but many many people use it as the final date of an event. That's another reason I insist on using 'x1,y1 x2,y2' for rectangle, along with to retain the syntax of existing vocabulary, e.g. Jim's one or Fotonotes. regards, ================================== This is the TEMPORARY discussion list for the W3 Semantic-Photo History Project.
