So, I think that addresses your issue above. :) > Well... not fully. We are talking about HTML5+RDFa here. Of course, the processing rules of RDFa are essentially oblivious to the underlying DOM tree, insofar as they work for anything. The question is whether HTML5 allows (or does not allow) @href on all elements. If not, then HTML5 parsers (which are often use as part of an RDFa processing) may do something funny (as they do with a <link> element that may be repositioned into the head), and HTML5 validators may shout at you. Ie: this approach also works provided the HTML5 WG accepts that change on their current model. Do they?
