Re: RDFa and Web Directions North 2009

Sam,

I have one question, what does this mean?

<<
Again, I'm not certain that marketing is the right answer.  At the 
present time, the editor of the HTML 5 specification is profoundly 
unconvinced that RDFa either has a valid use case or is the best way to 
address the use cases that have been provided.  I see several ways 
forward, none of which involves battles, direction from on high, or 
marketing.

1) Convince Ian that RDFa has merit.
 >>

Why does Ian have to be convinced?

All references to "Ian" are always about him being the sole decision maker.

Does an "Editor" determine the fate of a spec, solely?

I desperately hope I am simply misunderstanding the general rhetoric 
around HTML5 and RDFa.
