I have not found the reference but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Steven, can you please confirm that the XHTML WG intent was that 'license' meant 'cc:license' in XHTML2? That's where RDFa comes from.

If this is indeed the case, then we should definitely define that to be cc license and, I believe, that would alleviate Niklas' issue, too. > > Thanks > > Ivan > > >> and that is surely what we meant.

Lots of people had GREAT ideas about how to accomplish this. One such idea was that it should be possible to redefine every operator to do anything. So, for example, an object could make it so '+' meant '-'. Or worse yet, so '+' meant '*'. At the time this was hailed as a brilliant piece of abstraction. In reality it was idiotic.

'license' means license. It does not mean http://www.example.org/randomURI/somepage#license. I know this and I am thankful. I know this in the same way I know that 'foaf:' is defined as a prefix for me, and that it means the right thing. I wouldn't want that to change randomly either. >>>> >>>> On 2/13/2012 10:21 AM, Niklas Lindström wrote: >>>>> Hi Shane, >>>>> >>>>> On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 4:42 PM, Shane McCarron<shane@aptest.com> wrote: >>>>>> My immediate reaction to this is "ummm... no?"
