My general take on this is that our transformation language of choice (XSLT) is quite capable of allowing the algorithms themselves to determine how to do context-sensitive extraction using 'push' [1] mechanisms rather than having GRDDL contend with this. > "A naive approach is to say that RDF/XML has its usual meaning wherever it > appears in any XML document.
