Re: [XHTML2] meta attribute

Hmmm... I might reword that as -

I think RDF tries to be a solution to this, a more (needlessly?) complex,
hard to write, read or understand syntax can be provided in this way and it
is rumored that some folks actually do this.

(I'm no RDF expert - is there really such a thing?)

Tantek
