I noticed this while building my cleanroom RDFa parser on top of the HTML5 parser. It actually strips @rev out. I don't understand why it goes to that extent when other attributes, e.g. "foobar", make it into the parse tree just fine. In any case, RDFa can function fine without @rev. I think it's rather pointless to get rid of it just because it supposedly confused some authors (those people can just keep on ignoring it), but if that's the decision, it's no significant skin off our backs. (Side note: my only delay in the cleanroom implementation is that all of the SPARQL engines require RDF/XML and not N3... currently passing 70-80% of the test cases...) -Ben
