Re: ISSUE-89

Johannes,

Eagle eye: I think you are right...

There seems to be a small bug in the processing steps. Namely, I guess 
in the very last step of point 4, the [skip element] should be set to 
true _unless_ a @property element is present. If that is done, then the 
incomplete triples will be completed in div/div/span[1] and 
div/div/span[2]. Actually, the triples will be completed and added to 
the graph twice which is not a problem, because RDF is defined as a 
_set_ of triples.

Mark, Ben, Manu, is that correct? Or do I miss something?

I believe this is really an editorial issue, though it is on the 
borderline of technical. The intention is that, in 'human' terms, if an 
element does not include any of the RFDa attributes (well, the @content 
and @datatype are put aside here) then everything should simply 'flow' 
through. AFAIK, all implementations do that. It was raised in the 
discussion several times that one way of documenting this in the 
processing steps is to define a separate clause in the processing steps 
for this alternative and get it over with, so to say; but then it was 
decided that this alternative would be incorporated into the main flow. 
And that is where the it went wrong, at least I believe...


Thanks

Ivan
