Re: HTML in RDF

The meaningful/structural view where the HTML can be reconstructed from the
RDF graph. Ordering is semantic information, it mustn't be lost. The
functional view can be reconstructed via queries, it's just a subset.
This doesn't really touch the core issue though, which is editing RDF graphs
representing ordered textual content with domain specific extensions. I'd
really like to see pervasive use of RDF on the portal I'm designing. Islands
of HTML strings isn't quite satisfactory from a purist point of view (it
does have practical impacts.)

The XHTML/CSS/SVG representation is a choice and the precise representation
should be at the discretion of the semantic designer. Now actually RDFa is a
great way to embed additional semantics in the representation language
(XHTML). So I'm all for that.

That's the ideal I'm aiming for...
