And making this even more general: no Working Group can ever make firm guarantees on a draft proceeding to REC. There are a number of document in W3C's past that got stuck at whatever stage and never made it as Rec; some of them just stayed as drafts, others have been converted into W3C Notes at the last minute. The maximum a WG can say is that it considers a specific document as being on Rec Track, ie, that it plans to publish it as such. My understanding is that this is the case with HTML5+RDFa. Maciej, thanks for clarifying this.
