Re: Does RDFa processing recurse into content:encoded?

Hi Richard,

This is correct and was brought in a previous thread. In fact we've added
this content:encoded mapping knowingly. However, despite the fact this is
not part of the RDFa specs, some parsers could ignore this restriction and
try to parse the content of this rdf:XMLLiteral. I don't think there is any
problem with that? expect convincing RDFa parsers developers :D

Alternatively, in order to be in line with the specs, some extra (hidden)
RDFa markup could be generated outside the body element which would reflect
the content of the body. So Richard's example would become:

<div class="body" property="content:encoded">
 <p about="#me">
   Hi, I'm <span property="foaf:name">Richard</span>!
 </p>
</div>
<div class="hidden-rdfa">
<span about="#me" property="foaf:name" content="Richard" />
</div>

This would involve RDFa parsing the content which ARC2 can do.

Steph.
