I expect the working group will publish it shortly there-after. I originally expressed the same question as your own, but my understanding is that if you want to express semantics, use a namespace. I don't completely understand the discussion/answers to the questions I asked, but I think they were they right questions and that is why I'm looking forward to the WD being published so we can all have a look. ___ I will be in London April 30-May 3. I will not have access to email, but will respond to your message as soon as possible after my return. I will be in Toronto May 7-14, but I hope to have access to email during that period. ___________________________________________________________ Joseph Reagle Jr. http://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/ Policy Analyst mailto:reagle@w3.org
