Update for those who are interested (all tested on Linux, test with
http://kwarc.info/lodtest#misc --303-->
http://kwarc.info/clange/publications.html#inproc for yourself):

* Firefox: #inproc
* Chromium: #inproc
* Konqueror: #inproc
* Opera: #misc

That given, what would an _RDFa_-compliant client have to do?  I guess it
would have to do the same as an RDF client, i.e. look into @about attributes
if in doubt.

Cheers,

Christoph
