Maybe it would make sense to start with <http://dev.w3.org/html5/html4-differences/>, which is not up-to-date, but at least gives an overview over the changes. The actual HTML5 spec is at <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html>. >> One thing to note that the current HTML5 specification >> has removed the “profile” attribute of the “head” element, >> which dc-html seems to use.

I'm sure Manu Sporny can give a summary. With respect to a potential migration it might be interesting to work on a generic mapping tool that would map DC-XHTML to XHTML+RDFa, just in order to test the feasibility. > cheers, > > Dan > > (in personal capacity, but I'll bounce this thread to the Advisory > Board to make sure it gets other perspectives) Best regards, Julian
