Hi all, Concerning Issue #12: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/HTML/2005-current- issues#curies-in-predicates We discussed whether attributes rel,rev,property should be of type CURIE only, instead of CURIE/URI. We already agree that about and href need to be CURIE/URI for obvious backwards-compatibility. A) CURIE only arguments in favor: - rel="next" is handled as expected, defaulting to xhtml2 namespace. Also, no special-casing for handling these issues. - HTML authors do think of rel/rev/property as different kinds of attributes than subjects or objects. - CURIE notation with [] is the weakest part of our proposal, in terms of others' reactions. Forcing [] everywhere would put this issue out in the forefront. arguments against: - inconsistency between rel,rev,property and href,about. B) CURIE/URI arguments in favor: - a single RDF triple doesn't need an XMLNS declaration, just a URI - we can make the URI base different for rel,rev,property. - consistency across RDF/A attributes arguments against: - inconsistency. rel="next" and href="next" don't refer to the same RDF entity. We should continue to debate this issue and resolve it ASAP. Note that current documents assume Option A. -Ben
