Re: Review of Representing Content in RDF

PS. I don't have refs. at hand, but would refer you to Atom format, which
might have XHTML content. That content might contain extractable,
intentional statements, though the wrapper syntax might not always make it
obvious. In the same way, RDF literals may contain further information that
won't be visible through the "Representing Content in RDF" vocab. But pull
it out based on XHTML processing, apply the appropriate pipeline (unescape,
XSLT) , the fine-grained data is there.

Cheers,
Danny.
