Hi,
To complete ACTION-642 (with many thanks to Larry):
There is currently no direct path, following definitional specifications,
from an HTML document to the specs for extensions such as microdata or RDFa.
The goal is to ensure there is such a path to "applicable
specifications".
We will work with PLH, in consultation with the HTML WG, to create a
W3C-sponsored registry of applicable HTML extensions and their
specifications. The W3C-sponsored registry might also include references
to other registries of applicable specifications maintained by other
groups and organizations.
Once the basics and location of the registry is settled, we will work to
ensure that this registry is referenced within revised Internet Media Type
registrations for text/html and application/html+xml.
This will allow a direct chain ("follow-your-nose") from content-type labels
to the set of specifications covering the expected behavior of applications
attempting to interpret data with that label.
Cheers,
Jeni
