> 
> The RDFa Working Group has published the Last Call Working Draft of
> XHTML+RDFa 1.1:
> 
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xhtml-rdfa-20101109/
> 
> The RDFa Working Group resolved to publish this document as a LCWD on
> November 4th 2010:
> 
> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/meetings/2010-11-04#resolution_1
> 
> We request that the following Working Groups review and submit any Last
> Call comments that they have by December 9th 2010:
> 
>   * HTML WG - The HTML+RDFa 1.1 specification is similar to the
>     XHTML+RDFa 1.1 specification and thus someone that is also not in
>     the RDFa WG should review XHTML+RDFa 1.1 to familiarize themselves
>     with the way the RDFa Core 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.1 specs are
>     layered. This same layering mechanism is used for the HTML+RDFa
>     specification.
>   * PFWG - We would like to ensure that RDFa will help further
>     accessibility initiatives and invite PFWG to review in order to
>     understand if we have unknowingly blocked a11y initiatives from
>     succeeding.
>   * Internationalization Activity - We would like to ensure that all
>     features introduced to RDFa 1.1 are in line with the requirements
>     of Internationalization on the Web.
> 
> We request that the following Working Groups do an informal review of
> the specification and only need to comment if there are
> moderate-to-serious issues found:
> 
>   * Semantic Web CG
> 
> All other Working Groups are invited to review as well. If a Working
> Group requires more time to organize a review, we are open to extending
> the LC review period for that Working Group. All comments are welcome.
> 
> Send all Last Call comments to: public-rdfa-wg@w3.org
> 
> Ensure that you mention that the comments are Last Call comments. All LC
> comment e-mails will be entered into the RDFa WG ISSUE tracker.
> 
> All XHTML+RDFa 1.1 ISSUES handled to date, along with mailing list
> discussion related to each issue, can be accessed from the RDFa WG ISSUE
> Tracker:

> http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/closed?sort=product
> 
> We are making good progress toward the Success Criteria listed in the
> RDFa WG Charter:
> 
> http://www.w3.org/2010/01/rdfa-wg-charter
> 
> The technical goals for following Success Criteria, as outlined in the
> RDFa WG Charter, are addressed by the XHTML+RDFa 1.1 Last Call
> specification:
> 
>   * RDFa 1.1 improvements to authoring XHTML+RDFa
>   * Successful specification and usage of RDFa in other XML languages
>   * Minimize and possibly eliminate all divergence between RDFa 1.1 in
>     XHTML1.1, XML dialects and (X)HTML5
> 
> Patent information related to these documents may be accessed from the
> following location:

> http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/44350/status
> 
> There have been zero Formal Objections submitted. The RDFa WG has worked
> with a number of commenters who might have submitted a Formal Objection
> to ensure that an acceptable compromise was implemented and consensus
> reached on the compromise.
> 
> Let me know if there are any issues or concerns with this publication
> and call for review, I'd be happy to discuss and address any problems.
