But what I would say in consolation is that the significant factor is *usage*. And in my view there is sufficient momentum building behind RDFa now, that removing @rev in the future would just be laughed at. Obviously I don't want to say 'don't worry', but I think that as long as we keep producing stuff that's useful to people, we'll be ok.
