It's rather misleading to suggest you are removing normative references to RDFa when there are none to begin with. > * Having the RDFa and Microdata specification separate from the HTML5 > specification will allow those technologies to evolve independently > from > HTML5 (after REC). I don't think Microdata needs to be split for this reason. If it really turns out there's a need to update Microdata before the bureaucracy cycle makes updating HTML itself feasible, that bridge can be crossed when/if we get there by publishing a delta spec then. I don't support the removal of Microdata from HTML5 and I don't support the inclusion of RDFa in HTML5. This is because I think they aren't equally good choices for the Web. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
