Bijan, Thanks for your input on this. I'm reluctant to special-case any vocabulary, because not everyone agrees on what should be special-cased. A generic syntax has significant advantages. That said, I understand the desire of web publishers to make their lives easier when they have a lot of repetitive content to produce. For this reason, I sincerely believe we will need to push a generic pre-processing approach, one that I've called hGRDDL in the past. The idea is simple: - declare a profile in your HTML file: @profile="my-rdfa-shortcuts-url" - the profile URL points to an in-line transform for the page, probably implemented in JavaScript, that effectively expands all of the shortcuts you want using the DOM API. - the RDFa parser acts on the modified DOM. In other words, I concur with Ivan that we should push this off until after the first release of RDFa, but I want to point out that I agree with your overall goals and that I think we have a solution on the way for just this kind of optimization. -Ben > I guess my main point is that I'd prefer to optimize a bit for > authorship (even tools can be helped by being made easier) and, a > bit, for HTML5. > > So two things that might make life easier as an author: > Some canonical property sets (e.g., Dublin Core).
