What's the process here? As with other issues, I intend to carefully examine the many suggestions that have already been put forward (RDFa and the various other forms of RDF, Microformats, the various extension mechanisms in HTML4, various domain-specific solutions, NLP-type solutions, automated search solutions that already exist, etc) as well as considering possible new solutions for specific problems. This will then result in a draft proposal for further discussion. There's no need to propose solutions yet, though, I'm pretty confident that every possible solution has already been brought up. :-) (Thanks for your other comments btw, I've taken note of them.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
