Re: Possible RDF Validator options change

I would like to be able to cut-and-paste embedded RDF or fragments of RDF 
into the validator for checking.  It's a small matter, but I'd like this 
option to remain available.

Further to Mark Baker's response (with which I generally7 agree), I'll note 
that I include XML-that-is-also RDF as a variation of embedded RDF for this 
purpose.
