Hello HTML5 WG, in the section about the element 'head' is noted: "The head element collects the document's metadata." and: "Content model: One or more elements of metadata content, ..." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#the-head-element About what 'metadata content' is, it is noted: "Elements from other namespaces whose semantics are primarily metadata-related (e.g. RDF) are also metadata content." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#metadata-content I would only like to know, if I interprete this correct, that authors finally can put metadata elements from other namespaces like RDF in the head element of a HTML5 document without any conflicts? If correct, this will be indeed a nice feature and progress of HTML5 compared to what is possible in HTML4. Will this be managed by possible validators too? Currently for XHTML1.0 and XHTML1.1, if done, this results (only) in problems with the DTD limitations, not present anymore in HTML5, similar to what happens with related content of metadata in SVG 1.1 in contrast to SVG tiny 1.2.
