I co-edit [1] and edit the rdf/xml syntax specification. [1] defines a profile of rdf/xml, which remains an rdf/xml documents. Like RSS 1.0. It does use RDF because it is RDF. [2] are guidelines and don't define an XML format but suggest techniques. Your comments about comparing element names is ambiguous; doe you mean the XML element or the Dublin Core Element? Either way, it infers nothing to say that [1] is not RDF. Dave
