Re: XML in HTML

It might be very relevant to show how you can now imbed RDF into an XHTML
document...
In otherwords you can imbed RDF directly into the body (not just head) of an
XHTML document, increasing the accessibility of the page by adding more
about the structure , role and relationship of the data  model.

On the other hand this is only at a draft stage, so it may be a bit early to
add to our documents.

Keep well,

  With SVG for instance, the image can be included directly instead of
  using an IMG or OBJECT element, and the point would be to show how the
  DESC element and other features of SVG make this more accessible, even

  I think this would be an excellent solution. Thanks for the suggestion!

  (My goal was not to provide a tutorial on XHTML and SVG, etc., but to
  ensure that we provide enough information to enable people to create Web
  resources that meet our criteria.  If people perceive that there are
  barriers to doing so-- for example, a felt need to visit many other
  documents in order to gain a piece of essential information-- they will
  be less likely to think of WCAG 2.0 as a resource and more likely to
  think of it as a set of arbitrary hoops to jump through.)
