Re: Agenda Topic / Issue: Clarify the meaning of "ignore" with respect to attributes that have no legal value

Jeni,

No - that is not what is currently specified (in my opinion), nor what 
my proposal would do.  Specifically, the third <span> should create the 
triple:

<> ex:test3 "Test" .

Because the @rel is treated as if it is not present at all.  There are 
no semantics in RDFa for an empty @rel.
