RDFa group. The XHTML2 WG has noted the following paragraph from the TAG: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments#UsingRDFa "Note: at this time, drafts of the [RDFa] specification are available, but the media-type registration for HTML itself has not been updated to reflect RDFa. As described in TAG Finding [AuthoritativeMetadata], conventions like RDFa are normative only if provided for in the applicable specification for the media-type in which they are used. Thus, for RDFa to be fully integrated with 2 The Web's Standard Retrieval Algorithm, the HTML and/or XHTML media-type registrations must be be updated. Use of RDFa is in any case encouraged in the interim until that happens." The XHTML2 WG has discussed it, and strongly disagrees with this text. http://www.w3.org/2008/02/20-xhtml-minutes.html#item08 We don't believe that a change to the media type is necessary to make RDFa normative. Before sending a reply to the TAG, I thought the RDFa TF should discuss this. Best wishes, Steven
