For once, it points to a spec called "HTML5 (including next generation additions still in development)" which includes Microdata. That doesn't make any sense at all. But I guess Paul's point was that a W3C spec that extended HTML5 preferably should normatively reference the W3C version (with which I agree). A bigger issue is that the draft (at least the Feb 03 version at <http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/>) re-introduces the predefined vocabularies that were removed from HTML5 earlier on; I believe that is either an oversight, or an attempt to undo an earlier change. Whatever the reason is, I object to the publication of this with this addition. Best regards, Julian
