Re: HTML5 Polyglot spec and RDFa

  Yes - this was part of the rationale for requiring that 'terms' always 
be processed in a case insensitive manner.  I appreciate the use case 
where there might be a hybrid vocabulary defined that brought in terms 
that differ only in case.  I propose that we include in the RDFa Core 
spec (in the section on RDFa Profiles) a note that when defining such a 
profile, the author should either forgo one of the terms OR, more 
interestingly, change one of the terms so that there is no collision.  
For example, stealing from Gregg's example the other day:

> [ rdfa:term "Agent"; rdfa:uri "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent" ] .

Basically, don't do that.  Instead, do:


[ rdfa:term "owlAgent"; rdfa:uri 
"http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl#agent" ] .
[ rdfa:term "foafAgent"; rdfa:uri "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent" ] .

No conflict - viola!
