Could this be something to do with this issue : http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#faq-html-compliance Summary: The RDF FAQ suggests how RDF meta data might be included in HTML. The suggested approach is fails HTML 4.01 and XHTML validation. --- Danny Ayers http://www.isacat.net <- -----Original Message----- <- From: www-rdf-interest-request@w3.org <- [mailto:www-rdf-interest-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Seth Russell <- Sent: 14 April 2001 22:00 <- To: Charles McCathieNevile; Lee Jonas <- Cc: 'Aaron Swartz'; RDF Interest; RDF Logic <- Subject: Authors describing what their URIs mean <- <- <- From: "Charles McCathieNevile" <charles@w3.org> <- <- > Right.
