A method for RDF grouping constructs - and in particular rdf:List structures, which are annoying to represent in RDFa - would be very welcome in a future version of RDFa. But as RDFa is currently defined, rdf:li does not expand to rdf:_1, rdf:_2, etc. So a test case requiring parsers to do so would not be a good idea. That having been said, expanding rdf:li to rdf:_1, rdf:_2, etc seems a useful feature for a parser to have, albeit one that should be implemented as an option, switched off by default until such a time as this feature is standardised. I'm quite tempted to implement it in my Perl RDFa parser. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
