Ben, I see no evidence that Henri wants to mislead. Please don't put things down to dishonesty that are equally well explained in terms of miscommunication, lack of shared context, and different (perhaps unarticulated) assumptions. > Yet another reason why I'm reluctant to invest the time necessary to put > together the full proposal. That's a shame. When AC Reps come to review the finished HTML5 product from the HTML WG, it would be good to have had a solid RDFa-in-HTML5 proposal out there for discussion. Hopefully HTML5 will have a mechanism for including RDFa; if not, many will want to know why. If anything is clear from the current discussion, it is that we collectively lack a shared perspective on how within-the-Web-page data and metadata should work. Having a written down proposal is important - let me know how I can help. Also, we have a small army of people signed up to help W3C get an HTML5 spec out the door; see http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=40318&public=1 385 group participants, 385 in good standing, 74 participants from 23 organizations 311 Invited Experts I'm sure a small group of these could be assembled to discuss an RDFa-for-HTML5 proposal, should one be made. cheers, Dan -- http://danbri.org/
