I would rather say something along the lines that the consumer should be prepared to the fact that the published material may include references to other vocabularies (typing, predicates, etc) that the consumer does not necessarily know about. In such a case, the consumer should ignore those references but should by no means influence consuming vocabulary items that it understands. This is, for example, a very important aspect of schema.org that was not made clear at the initial announcement: consumer may safely mix schema.org and, say, good relations terms for the same resource; schema.org will just pick its own terms out of the structure and live happily with that. >> >> OK, the document does say that within >> >> http://www.w3.org/wiki/Choosing_an_HTML_Data_Format#Good_Consumption_Practice >> >> Perhaps that needs to be more prominent.

Producers should know about this, they should know how consumers react to such a situation. And consumers should publish their behaviour on this respect… Hmm. The bit at http://www.w3.org/wiki/Choosing_an_HTML_Data_Format#Choosing_a_Publishing_Format under which is the section on Vocabulary Considerations, is really about the situation where you're choosing a single format to publish in. I've reworded the introduction to that section to hopefully make that clearer: This section addresses a situation where all your target consumers recognise a set of formats (each with a particular syntax and vocabulary), your toolset supports publishing in all of them, and you need to make a choice about which of these formats to use. It's assumed that you will want to choose a single format rather than mixing multiple formats, as this will mean less markup in your page and make your publishing task easier. I do have some words in http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mixing_HTML_Data_Formats#Consuming_Pages_with_Multiple_Formats already too. Maybe when I put all this into ReSpec I can create a best practice box that will make it pop out more. >> OK, I added some pointers at >> >> http://www.w3.org/wiki/Choosing_an_HTML_Data_Format#Tooling_Considerations >> >> Could you take a look and see if that's enough? > > There is also a microdata in json, more exactly a mapping definition from md to JSON: > > http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/Overview.html#json > > worth adding.

I did link to both of those in that section. Jeni -- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com
