Neither RDFa nor > Microdata offer this kind of extensibility. The problem here is that you're somehow categorising the list of examples given in the charter, and using that to somehow limit the class of independent vocabularies that are being referred to by the charter. I do not believe that is a reasonable interpretation. The actual requirement in the charter just says "independently developed vocabularies", without placing any restrictions on what type of independent vocabularies are being referred to. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
