RDF data in XHTML is obviously going to be there for a purpose, i.e. there will be some application in mind, otherwise, why would one embed it? The notion of having "unconstrained" RDF floating about in HTML is a bit absurd: why not just use an RDF file in the first place? If, on the other hand, you're including the RDF as metadata about the page, then HTML already contains methods for attaching metadata (<meta/> and <link/>), and I'm working on an XSLT stylesheet that, when used in conjunction with a profile attribute, can map this neatly into RDF. Or, if you really, really, want to use the RDF straight up, you can link to it using the <link/> element. Cheers, -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
