Thanks Ben, I hadn't seen the resolution on ISSUE-112 before. To be clear: getting RDFa done fast is my goal too! Whether or not a functional description goes in the spec this round, it's a useful and valuable discussion to have now. I probably could argue that having a functional description is actually a faster path to the finish line, but I won't. It comes down the the same root cause, lack of available time, in this case to press the argument. So I accept the resolution (but encourage folks to keep working on it here as much as is practical). Perhaps it would be a good topic for a wiki page. Thanks, -m Ben Adida wrote: > > Micah, > > Thanks for the effort on this!

Here is my first rough sketch (definitely buggy >> and incomplete) of a functional specification of RDFa
