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
