Re: RDFa Last Call Comment: Better name than 'instanceof' is needed

You mean why we chose @instanceof specifically? We went through a long 
(and public) discussion about this. @rdftype was brought up and 
rejected. Ideally, we would have used @type, but that was taken. And our 
previous overloading of @class made a few people quite upset.

I didn't meant to ignore your comment, by the way, I only meant to wait 
until the task force members express an opinion on the Thursday call. I 
responded to Micah's comment because I could do that immediately without 
consulting the group.

We'll chat about it on Thursday and get back to you.
