Is the HTML editor open to having first class support for prefixes/CURIEs in HTML, such as the introduction of a new metadata element "prefix" with the attributes @name and @href (or "curie" with the attributes @prefix and @href)? i.e. is the HTML editor looking to introduce well defined and easily maintainable prefix/curie support in to HTML? or conversely, is the HTML editor looking to relegate @prefix on the grounds that it's too complicated and difficult to maintain moving forwards, without proposing or seconding an alternative solution? as an aside, if @prefix is defined by a specification which extends HTML, then does it fall under the HTML editors remit to maintain @prefix? Best, Nathan
