Manu,

We do not have a problem. Here is the answer I got from Ian:

>> Backwards compatibility with RDFa 1.0 is of great importance. That means, in general, that all triples that are produced via the October 2008 version of RDFa, should still be generated in the new version. For each new feature, if there is doubt or a perceived problem with respect to this, the guideline should be not to include the feature in the set of modifications. The two minor features the Working Group has identified and which may constitute possible exceptions to this rule, is the default XML Literal generation (see the proposal and the corresponding thread for details), and the list of predefined @rel/@rev values that automatically generate triples (these predefined values are under re-evaluation by the HTML community, and inconsistencies may occur if all RDF triples are generated).
