ISSUE-128 (empty list of TERMorCURIEorAbsIRIs): Empty list of TERMorCURIEorAbsIRIs should be allowed more explicitly in the spec [3rd LC Comments - RDFa 1.1 Core] http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/128 Raised by: Ivan Herman On product: 3rd LC Comments - RDFa 1.1 Core This is an editorial comment, I believe. Copying from Mike Smith's comment: That spec says that the value of the property attribute is: "a white space separated list of TERMorCURIEorAbsIRIs" http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdfa-core/Overview-src.html#s_syntax The empty string is not a valid term or CURIE or absolute IRI. If the intention is that the empty string should be allowed as the value of the property attribute, then the RDFa Core 1.1 spec needs to instead be updated to say that the allowed value for the property attribute is, "a white space separated list of *zero or more* TERMorCURIEorAbsIRIs". Incidentally, that's true for the values of other attributes as well; the spec needs to explicitly say either "zero or more" or "one or more" for them. Lack of that language makes it ambiguous. On the other hand, we (rarely) use empty @typeof or @datatype. Ie, the editorial changes proposed by Mike make sense to me.
