Mark pointed towards the reasoning on the OGP list. @name in HTML is overloaded already - it means so many different things in different places. Consider the difference between: <meta name="foo"> <input name="foo"> <a name="foo"> <param name="foo"> For RDFa 1.0, it was decided that a clean slate was needed, and that meant using a different attribute. There aren't any *plans* to change this in 1.1, but I don't think our charter would rule it out, so it's probably a reasonable thing to take a look at. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
