Let's > focus on Microdata. While I would like to do so (I agree that it would be much more productive), I would be remiss in my volunteered role as Counter-Proposal author if I did so. Manu's original Change Proposal mentions RDFa many times: in the summary, in nearly every point of the Rationale, and in nearly every point of the Impact. Thus RDFa is a part of this discussion, at least for me, by definition. The original Change Proposal does not cite any of the rationales that you are bringing to the table, Shelley. If we're willing to drop most of the rationales in the existing Change Proposal (all of the ones that deal with Microdata's relationship with or similarity to RDFa), then I'd be fine with addressing only your points. ~TJ
