Requirements for RDFa Last Call Working Draft

The RDFa last call working draft vote didn't happen today because there
were a couple of things that we didn't do:

1. Every comment that Ed and Diego made needed to be addressed, point by
   point, by updating the draft and replying to their e-mails with links
   to the draft sections where the changes were made.

2. We needed to get "explicit consent" from both Diego and Ed to state
   that the changes made to the draft were okay, and they're fine with
   the draft being submitted for last call. This can be done in an
   e-mail to the SWD mailing list.

3. An "official" e-mail needed to come from either Ben or one of the
   Editors asking the SWD group to publish the draft as a public
   last call working draft.

4. The draft needs to mention that it is a last call working draft AND
   specify the deadline for comments. The normal period for feedback is
   4-6 weeks and should specify the dates.

We need to do these things before the SWD call on next Tuesday -
preferably, we need to do these things ASAP so Ed and Diego can accept
the changes, as if they don't, it'll block the vote again.

Ralph, is all of the above your reading on why RDFa didn't go to last
call today?
