I just would really like to see some argument about Microdata that wasn't related to RDFa. I would like to actually see some evidence of healthy community support for it, like we see with RDFa and Microformats. If the only reason it exists is because folks don't like RDFa, I think the important point to remember is that the existence, or not, of Microdata will not generally influence what happens with RDFa. >> >> With respect to issue 76, at the present time, I don't see unanimity in >> the working group, as such, I expect that we will need to follow the >> following process: >> >> http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies#managing-dissent > > This does seem likely. > > Regards, > Maciej Shelley
