I wasn't talking about what other people thought, but what *you* thought. :) Your presentation said that RDFa was no longer bound to XHTML 2, as if at one time it was; you can say that this is what other people incorrectly thought, but that is no reason to repeat the inaccuracy in a presentation...in fact it's every reason to set the record straight! > > You also say "developed in the SW Deployment Working Group", which > > although it's true that RDFa has been worked on there for quite a > > while now, its origin is most definitely the HTML Working Group. > > > > I should have said "is being developed". You are right about history, my > goal was to talk about the status as of today... It wouldn't hurt to mention that it began life in the HTML Working Group, since in may ways it is the only way to understand why it takes the form that it does.
