When you embed XHTML in SVG, you don't wrap the whole fragment in an <html> element. I could list a variety of common embeddings and you'll see that you seldom include the root element. (Schema in WSDL is an exception, and does it as RDF does, but HTML in WSDL does not. The RDF specification should say specifically what an RDF processor is looking for in a non-RDF document. I would propose that an rdf:Description should be a proper root for an RDF fragment. Similarly, a fragment rooted in rdf:About or rdf:ID should be interpreted as an abbreviated rdf:Description. I don't think it needs to be handled by the TAG. Other "how do I embed X" issues are figured out just by the people defining the languages. Paul Prescod
