I *either* say: I'm being nit-picky, so please ignore if it will distract us from more pressing issues (of which there are several). :) We should be following a single convention when writing attributes, not two conventions. Using two conventions will confuse people because they will start seeing instanceof with and without the @ qualifier. Could we do the following: > "set the attribute instanceof" CHANGE TO: set @instanceof Since Mark has been very consistent with this phrase, I was able to quickly find 18 places in the Syntax document that would need to have this changed (if we decided to change it). The change should take around 10 minutes (that's how long it took me). > or I say: > > "you can use @about to set the subject". I agree, we should keep this the same. > But I never say: > > "set the attribute @instanceof" I agree, we would not want to do that. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to compulsively line up all my pencils, count every brick on the wall, sort my socks according to color and material, brush every one of my teeth 20 times and go to bed :P -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO, Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/
