Then the question nails down to "what is a h1?"
This question is interesting for any elements of the specification
which are about "meaning".
I [asked a similar question][1] to the RDFa mailing list last week.
What "element X" represents
for this document A
available at the <http://example.org/foo/bar> ?
I asked such a question because it is useful when you want to
[implement][3] a [semantics extractor][2]. One of my plans is to
rewrite the semantics extractor in Python, and make it possible to
extract an RDF file of it, so you could compare it with other
documents like docbook, xhtml 2, etc.
Also gives the possibility to create a quote extractor than can
combine authors and references from different web pages.
