Hi all! I've been catching up on a lot, and this is indeed making my head spin.. But that's good, these are important and complex issues. For now, my mind is mostly (somewhat) clear on the issue of @src, issue #1. I think the question is whether the page (or a "subsumed"/nested subject) and @src have a reference relation or a composition relation. Think of a web page (as we think of them today). It's not "complete" without resources connected with @src -- e.g. images, scripts and other objects. But @href:s like links are "outward" relations. And stylesheet links are also substitutable (@rel="alternate"), so they're not parts of the composition, IMHO. (Granted, iframes are weird parts in this view, but haven't they always been? ;) .. ) Also, I agree with the XHTML2 argument that this: <img src="me.jpg" rel="foaf:depicts" href="#me"/> should yield: <me.jpg> foaf:depicts <#me> . (Although it goes beyond XHTML 1.1, I think it is worth reflecting upon.) Thus, I believe @src should behave as @about (same relation as @href to @resource). BTW: can someone point me to the motivating use cases and what current consensus is regarding hanging rels? I've yet to spot this in the tangle of threads in my mailbox.. :/ Best regards, Niklas
