HTML+RDFa 1.1 FPWD prepped for publication

Hi all,

I've prepped a version of the HTML+RDFa 1.1 spec for FPWD publication as
we discussed during the last telecon. All but one of the changes are
editorial and are to the metadata associated with the document (the
group publishing the document, the location of the source files, FPWD
status, etc.). The editor's draft of the document can be found here:

http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdfa-in-html/

The only non-editorial change I made was to remove the section on
DTD-based validation. The HTML WG, HTML WG W3C Staff, and the WHAT WG
have been asking us to remove that section for a long time now. Keeping
it in there would go against the direction that the HTML WG and browser
manufacturers are headed in (and started heading in a long time ago)
regarding not supporting DTD-based validation.

I could put the section back in for FPWD, but we would just end up in
formal objection territory and end up removing it in the end anyway. If
any of the current RDFa WG members feel strongly about keeping that
section in there, please speak up now before we do the FPWD. Also, keep
in mind that we can address the validation issue /after/ the FPWD is out
there, so the issue doesn't have to be closed in any way, shape or form.

I'll freeze the document a week before the publication date (September
6th 2012). Let me know if there need to be any changes before that time.
