Re: HTML+RDFa Heartbeat Draft publishing request

Hi Manu,

Your publication request comes at an opportune time, as the chairs are  
considering what other drafts to republish, and we'd like to include  
HTML+RDFa. We'll make sure to include it in an upcoming CfC for new  
Working Drafts.

Thanks,
Maciej

P.S. I'd like to remind everyone that HTML+RDFa has a bugzilla  
component, and we should be following the exact same process for  
reporting problems and for the main HTML5 draft.
