As I think any comprehensible draft should be published, I'm all for publishing a FPWD of the HTML+RDFa document. However, I still think that RDFa is too comlex in its syntax for users, and thus I don't think it's the right solution for the web. Simplicity is extra important for something that essentially is 'hidden' metadata where using the wrong syntax won't give immediate feedback, but rather result in consumers of the data receiving wrong, or no, data. Or force consumers to use heuristics to correct said syntax. / Jonas
