I'm still unsure about exact dates, and am not sure what to do about
Stefano and Beckett's comments.
But this is pretty good-to-go I think, but would appreciate another set
of eyes looking over it.

Schedule
We propose a publication date of May 1st 2007.
We propose that the CR period lasts from the date of publication
until 1 June 2007. Given the brevity of the specification, the
length of time the specification has been around previous to the
creation of the WG, and the current active development of several
implementations, we expect to collect the necessary implementation
experience in that time.
Preliminary Implementation Report
There is a preliminary Implementation Report at
[14]http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/test_results. Note that
this implementation report shows three implementations in three
different languages undergoing active development: GRDDL.py
(Python), Jena (Java), and Raptor (C).

Proposed CR Abstract, Title, and Status Section
Title
Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL)
Abstract
GRDDL is a mechanism for Gleaning Resource Descriptions from
Dialects of Languages. This GRDDL specification introduces markup
based on existing standards for declaring that an XML document
includes data compatible with the Resource Description Framework
(RDF) and for linking to algorithms (typically represented in XSLT),
for extracting this data from the document.
The markup includes a namespace-qualified attribute for use in
general-purpose XML documents and a profile-qualified link
relationship for use in valid XHTML documents. The GRDDL mechanism
also allows an XML namespace document (or XHTML profile document) to
declare that every document associated with that namespace (or
profile) includes gleanable data and for linking to an algorithm for
gleaning the data.
A corresponding [15]GRDDL Use Case Working Draft provides motivating
examples. A [16]GRDDL Primer demonstrates the mechanism on XHTML
documents which include widely-deployed dialects known as
microformats.

endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and
may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any

This document was produced by a group operating under the [29]5
February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a [30]public list
of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables
of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing
a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which
the individual believes contains [31]Essential Claim(s) must
disclose the information in accordance with [32]section 6 of the
W3C Patent Policy.

Exit Criteria
The GRDDL Working Group will advance the specification to Proposed
Recommendation when the following exit criteria have been met:
* There are at least two interoperable implementations of the
specification. This will be determined by conformance to the
[38]GRDDL Test Cases. The GRDDL WG will send both [39]GRDDL Test

ancillary documentation required by the charter will be
published by then in final form as well.

Note that also the GRDDL WG has produced a [42]Test Cases, a
[43]Use-Case Scenario, and [44]Standard Library of Transforms, and a
[45]GRDDL Primer. However, all of these documents currently exist as
Working Drafts or Notes, and we believe by the time that Gleaning
Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL) reaches
Proposed Recommendation status, all of these documents will be
complete and our charter will be fulfilled.
