Steven, Thanks for this. I note that I've raised an issue [1] a couple of weeks ago regarding this TAG Note which has not been addressed [2] as far as I know. Hopefully we'll discuss this at our upcoming telecon. Cheers, Michael [1] http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/track/issues/85 [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2008Mar/0075. html ---------------------------------------------------------- Michael Hausenblas, MSc.
