The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'ISSUE-76 - Microdata - Straw Poll for Objections' (HTML Working Group) for Michael(tm) Smith. --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Split Microdata ---- We have a Change Proposal to Separate Microdata from the HTML5 Specification. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Rationale: --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Keep Microdata ---- We have a Change Proposal to Keep Microdata in the HTML5 Specification. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Rationale: The Team objects to the HTML WG proposal to include Microdata as a section in HTML 5. The two main reasons it should be published as an independent specification are: * Microdata is not specific to HTML 5. As an independent specification it can evolve independently and be easily referenced from other markup languages. * Microdata is not the only mechanism available for annotating HTML content with specific machine-readable labels. Rather than strongly promote a preferred mechanism by direct inclusion in the specification, the Team suggests that independence and user choice should be preferred at this time.
