Again, just throwing ideas out there, not speaking for the RDFa TF... These could be the possibilities for delcaring "prefix mappings": HTML4 : @prefix XHTML1.1: @xmlns, @prefix HTML5 : @prefix XHTML5 : @xmlns, @prefix If I'm understanding your issue with the current proposal, there would be overlap. @prefix would overlap all HTML family languages. Does this address your concern? We might even do this: HTML4 : @prefix XHTML1.1: @xmlns, @prefix HTML5 : @prefix XHTML5 : @prefix and tell people that are generating source that they should use @prefix to declare prefix mappings. We could eventually phase out xmlns: as a mechanism for declaring prefix mappings, if there was broad agreement to do so? If web authors want want to produce RDFa that works in all versions of HTML, they should use @prefix. -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
