Wasn't my idea - the version attribute is already in XHTML+RDFa 1.0 (and setting it is a "SHOULD" in the conformance requirements). I've stuck to much the same requirements, just changing the DTD and the value for the version attribute. As far as implementations that use it, my own semantic web tool Swignition has a "strict mode" where it refuses to parse a document as RDFa without the version requirement. So there's at least one implementation that does use it. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
