Hi Julian, >> By the way, how is RDFa's use of @rel not backwards-compatible? > > It will conflict with the use of full URIs. Ah...you mean "forwards-compatible". As Ben said in another email, some people have a personal preference for full URIs, and no-one is going to say they shouldn't air their views. But given that at the time RDFa was created there was no HTML or XHTML standard that used @rel to hold a full URI -- and there still isn't -- it can only create unnecessary confusion if this personal preference is wrapped up an the false assertion that the RDFa standard has somehow created a 'legacy problem'.
