RE: Comments on GRDDL (using 3rd-party XML schemas with GRDDL) [OK?]

Harry,

I think you have to be careful here:

The problem with that wording is: Are the results still going to be a
Faithful Rendition of the original XML document?  If the GRDDL-aware
agent is permitted to apply transformations that the GRDDL spec cannot
ensure were endorsed by the XML document author, then the GRDDL spec
cannot ensure that the RDF results do represent a Faithful Rendition.
