Could you please outline (in short form bulleted list), every specific issue that you have with RDFa. A parallel short-form bulleted list of all RDFa features that you enjoy would also be welcome. I believe that this thread has been going long enough for you to formulate an educated opinion about what you do like and what you don't like about RDFa. Getting such a list together will also help us address your grievances better. Here's an example of what I'd like to see: RDFa Pros: - Allows semantic metadata markup in HTML family languages. - Does not use QNames RDFa Cons: - Mixes semantics with HTML structure - Uses CURIEs to specify prefixes - Does not work like CSS and does not re-use @class and so on... If any of you that have been involved in all of these discussions can weight in with a list like that it would be very helpful. I can put together a set of issues that the HTML5 community is concerned about and we can start discussing them in the W3C RDFa Task Force. -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.0 Website Launches http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2008/07/03/bitmunk-3-website-launches
