HTML allows the attributes and if an author uses them, it should not affect conformance. I only slightly disagree in that conformance isn't silly in that it is good to know whether or not you are following the rules when it comes to authoring an RDFa Lite document. Maybe we need to clarify that conformance is scoped to authoring and not to "processing" the document? The processor must follow the same rules when extracting triples via RDFa and that is where I don't want to go mucking around and changing semantics just to preserve some expected behavior. If you use @rel and things change, then you may have to adjust your use of RDFa to get the right outcome. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
