Actually Sam, these emails are cross posting between RDFa in XHTML TF and
the HTML WG. My wistful hope was directed more as a hint to the folks on the
RDFa side. I can understand if they choose not to participate. I'll be
disappointed, but I can understand.
My other comments were directed more at the HTML WG et al side, but saying
them will solve nothing. People will act directly, and positively, or they
won't.
