'ello Jeremy, or EricP, or whoever's actually responsible for this, The RDF Validator doesn't accept documents that start with nodeElement. For example: <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"> <dc:title>World Wide Web Consortium</dc:title> </rdf:Description> The specification says that's fine as long as a) it's an application/rdf+xml document or, b) you know via some mechanism that what you've got is RDF. If you're pasting it into the RDF Validator then presumably b) applies; if you're using the URI interface, then a) might also apply but I guess it's moot unless you were to make nodeElement support be an option only. Perhaps the www-validator folks have some experience to share about that. Any chance of adding this, please? (I note that CWM doesn't support nodeElement as documentRoot either. I wonder how many other RDF utilities don't have that? Up until very recently the only RDF/XML parser I wrote only conformed to the PR version of the spec, and I think nodeElement as root was added at the last minute before REC...) -- Sean B.
