Hi, The microdata spec is now a First Public Working Draft [1] - although the technology has been around the whole decade, and is widely deployed for search engines... so we expect it to be fairly stable in terms of technology, fixing it to reflect reality rather than re-designing it, where possible. It is very similar to RDFa Lite - there are some attributes you can add to HTML to make data more unambiguously machine-parseable. But it uses a slightly different mechanism - at its base is not a formal RDF model, but a more limited "graph" of name/value pairs, with some ability for a value to be a subgraph. I added a basic Internationalisation and Localisation section [2] in the editor's draft, based on what came to the top of my head. Could you please schedule a review of the spec, some time before August? Danbri or I can probably attend the next meeting to help talk people through it.
