OK, so Microdata not only extends the vocabulary, but also affects existing elements/attributes. Thus moving it into a separate spec makes it harder. I'm shocked. What a surprise. One way to look at this is that it's not a good idea to overload existing elements such as <link> or <meta> in the first place. Another one would be to make them more usable for *everybody*, not only Microdata. For instance, <link> could be allowed everywhere, making it apply to the containing object instead of the whole document. Best regards, Julian
