If it is intended to affect the W3C HTML5 spec, I'd like to ask that the conversation happens on public-html. Cross-posting to WHATWG optional. -----Original Message----- From: public-html-request@w3.org [mailto:public-html-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Ian Hickson Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 12:12 PM To: Charles McCathieNevile Cc: WHATWG Subject: Re: [whatwg] Please review use cases relating to embedding micro-data in text/html (Please avoid cross-posting. I've bcc'ed public-html since this e-mail was originally sent to both whatwg and public-html, but the thread has mostly been on the whatwg list so far.)

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 /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
