Ivan, I agree; #2 is too strong. We need to factor in a a reasonable running time for the working group (and the charter timeline :-). Use cases are good for understanding coverage but poor at defining the limits (there are always more use cases that reach new communities). Some kind of prioritization would be ideal but more practically we may have to use proceed in the style of #3 and see where we get to.

If the usage of microsyntax is widely used out there, ie, it is in the 80 of the 80/20 cut, then we probably should put energy into a universal solution for the RDF conversion. However, if it is only in the '20', then we may decide to ignore this (at least in this version), or delegate it to the vague aspect of external machine (JS callback, SPARQL whatever), ie, leave it to the user. > > I think we should have a clear idea of what we are doing at this point without making decisions that would bite us later...
