Re: Web Linking and @rev

Hi Kingsley,

We've been back and forth on this issue a *lot*. The current solution is still to define the syntax, but not the semantics, of rev, because we can't come to consensus on it, and it's widely agreed that it isn't well-used in many cases (not necessarily yours).

Regards,

Linked Data i.e., the critical relation between a Descriptor Documents and its Unambiguously Named (via Generic HTTP URI) Subject.
