https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15913 Summary: HTML+RDFa adds href, src, rev and rel attributes to all elements Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML+RDFa (editor: Manu Sporny) AssignedTo: msporny@digitalbazaar.com ReportedBy: hsivonen@iki.fi QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org, msporny@digitalbazaar.com http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/#extensions-to-the-html5-syntax says "If HTML+RDFa document conformance is desired, all RDFa attributes and valid values (including CURIEs), as listed in RDFa Core 1.1, Section 2.1: The RDFa Attributes, must be allowed and validate as conforming when used in an HTML4, HTML5 or XHTML5 document." It doesn't really say which elements these attributes are added to. The failure to say which elements the attributes are added to is a bug, but knowing the nature of RDFa as a general overlay, it's safe to guess that the above-quoted text tries to add attributes to all elements. The section referred to, http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#rdfa-attributes , doesn't contain proper normative statements defining "RDFa attributes and valid values". However, it says "For a complete list of RDFa attribute names and syntax, see Attributes and Syntax." That section (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#s_syntax) lists href, src, rel and rev. One has to conclude that HTML+RDFa adds href, src, rel and rev to all elements. I think it's a bad idea to add attributes that look like HTML attributes but that only have their RDFa functionality--not the usual HTML functionality of the attributes of the same names--to elements, because this is confusing. Please don't add attributes that already have a meaning in HTML to HTML elements that don't already have those attributes in unextended HTML. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
