Re: A Proposal for subject setting by @class

Looking at this question with my newly found[1] (though probably
temporary wisdom...)...

In your proposal,

<div about="#me" id="me" class="t:blabla">
 <div class="cal:Vevent" rel="foaf:topic">
   <span property="cal:dtstart">2007-07-07</span>
 </div>
</div>

yields

[
   a t:blabla;
   foaf:topic [
 a cal:Event;
 cal:dtstart "2007-07-07".
   ]
]

although I would expect

<#me> a t:blabla;
  foaf:topic [
      a cal:dtstart;
      cal:dtstart "2007-07-07".
  ].


Isn't that correct?

I am not sure we foresee all the ripple down (or up:-) effect of such an
implicit behaviour. I would try to explore it more or keep it on ice for
now...
