Oops! That should have been

If that's a concern, RDF has a syntactic option
of putting just about everything in attributes:


	util:comment="file is just a... "

But that only works for RDF in HTML. Other markup vocabularies
might not have that. So yes, the schema for XHTML should
standardize some idiom for "markup from other vocabularies
can go here*, and it's not intended to affect the rendering
of this document"; perhaps here* should be in <head>...</head>,
though I hate to force all metadata into the time-critical
first part of the document... perhaps there's some idiom
with <object> that would work cleanly.
