Re: Important Question re. WebID Verifiers & Linked Data

OK, that seems manageable, assuming it all specs out.

So looking at the 12 December 2012 draft (
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/#in-portable-contacts-format-using-grddl
), it looks like (2) RDFa and (4) RDF/XML are in the draft, but (1)
HTML+Microdata and (3) Turtle are not.

In particular the two most relevant sections look to be:

========
3.2.4.1 Processing the WebID Profile

The Verification Agent must be able to process documents in RDF/XML
[RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR] and RDFa in XHTML [XHTML-RDFA]. The result of
this processing should be a graph of RDF relations that is queryable,
as explained in the next section.
========

How should that read instead?

And then the profile description section itself (
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/#the-webid-profile ) lists
some "should", "must", and "not required"

========
foaf:mbox

foaf:name

foaf:depiction

cert:RSAPublicKey

cert:key
========

Clearly (to me) Turtle can handle these. So maybe nothing more has to
be said about that but to list Turtle as an option.

I know almost nothing about HTML+Microdata. My basic understanding is
that the "itemtype" attribute would be required to indicate some
values are foaf:mbox's, cert:key's, etc. Are there any representation
issues or pieces missing in the Microdata draft necessary to have
Microdata be unambiguously supported in the WebID spec?

Are you (Kingsley) driving the inclusion of Microdata in the WebID spec?

Thanks
