Hi Ivan, > (I personally happen to think that giving this separate treatment to <head> is a mistake. But that may only be me.) I'm pretty certain it was you who spotted that if you did this: <html typeof="foaf:Document"> or this: <head typeof="foaf:Document"> you would end up with a bnode as the subject of all of the triples in the head. (I'm not blaming you -- it was an important observation!) By having an implied @about value we ensure that the triples in the head always refer to the current document. I wouldn't claim it is perfect, but I don't recall anyone coming up with a better solution. We could of course ban @typeof from head, but we've tended to avoid those kinds of draconian approaches.
