Re: [ALL] RDF/A Primer Version

David,

I agree, I think we should mark the problems. I'd rather not try to  
rush the fixing of these problems, though, as I think they'll need  
very careful editing. Assuming we do mark the problem carefully, do  
you think the impact of section #2 is small enough to warrant moving  
ahead?
