Yes, definitely. Whilst I've not agreed with all of the points being made, it has certainly become clear in this discussion that this whole area needs a great deal more precision in any spec. That's not just in HTML5+RDFa, but also in any future version of RDFa. In fact, I'm even wondering whether the TF might want to consider an errata on this.
