We hope it will taken up by other XML languages, but really HTML is the main target right now. > So it's pretty easy to find answers other than "you can > always follow your nose from RDFa markup thru the HTML-v-next > spec to the RDF spec". it would definitely have to be part of the schema for the XML language you're thinking about. For example, it could well be done using a GRDDL transform specified in the namespace document. > GRDDL uses a namespace-qualified attribute on the root > element of an XML document as its hook, in the most general > case; and in the specific case of DTD-constrained HTML, it uses > the head/@profile hook. Right, so you still need access to HEAD/PROFILE, right? Since that value of PROFILE will be different from one application to another, obviously (unless it's the RDFa transform, for example... but then we're back to our use case :) -Ben
