That's the tack that RDFa has taken, but I don't know if we can do it with Microdata. In every other case we ensure that the data model created by the Microdata to RDF spec is compatible with the Microdata DOM and JSON representation. This would have to include URL generation too, I would think. We could possibly address it through the Registry, but the more we rely on that, the weaker the whole processing algorithm becomes. The issue of HTML+RDFa is one for the RDF WebApps group to look at, I forwarded to Manu for consideration. I don't think it is as big a deal for HTML+RDFa, as it is not defined in terms of the HTML DOM. But it would be unusual for it to be done two different ways. Jeni, it seems to me that this is an issue the TAG needs to look at. Having two different ways of doing URL/URI/IRI resolution would seem like something that is a AWWW issue.
