Re: RDFa and MicroFormats

The validator accepts RDFa as far as I know.  Honestly I had not tested
with HTML5 yet.  I will do that soon.  I was still getting the tests to
exercise all the various combinations of RDF.

As to being able to turn it off...  I appreciate your desire to have it on
all the time and not provide a mechanism to disable it, but I don't want to
piss anyone off.   Easy enough to make it mandatory at some point in the
future.
