Hello Ivan, I translated XHTML+RDFa 1.1 into German and there were a few things I found. So I got some suggestions, questions and errors on the document. I hope, I don't steal to much of your valuable time.

Just a suggestion for future versions, more precise.

C. Deployment Advice, somewhere in the beginning - Grammar, Typo

If document authors want to facilitate such validation, they may include ...
Most of the document uses authors instead of author, so authors might be consistend, so the plural of they can be used.

C. Deployment Advice, last paragraph
that includes a reference to the RDFa Initial Context IRI http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/xhtml-rdfa-1.
Should this be? ...reference to the XHTML RDFa Iniatial Context IRI ...
From my unterstanding the RDFa (Core) Initial context is http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/rdfa-1.1.

F.2 Informative references, Date on SGML Catalog - Typo

Questions

My initial context issue
Quote: HTML+RDFa uses an additional initial context by default, http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/xhtml-rdfa-1.1, which must be applied after the initial context for [RDFA-CORE] (http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/rdfa-1.1).

I wonder, if the "initial context thing" could be described a little different, from my understanding, it is a collection of TERMs, that should be known to processors by default, but the child has a different name, that is not, let's say, self explaining. On the other hand, there is a initial context, that is produced like in 7.2 of RDFa core. So actually the document initial context is just a part/source for the initial context. "TERMs for intial context" would be more precise for the initial context documents of XHTML+RDFa and RDFa Core.

Hope, something was useful. ;-)
