http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#namespaceDocument-8 Conference call notes indicate there is movement toward a recommendation to store XHTML (or other human-readable, RDDL+Stylesheet) with embedded RDF at the namespace URI. I like this idea, but am concerned about two things: 1) A method of embedding RDF in HTML (or XML) is not fully-baked. namespaceDocument-8 resolution will become the most common use of embedded RDF, and will set a foundation for future uses of embedded RDF and backwards-compatibility. At a bare minimum, it seems that http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#httpRange-14 and http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#URIEquivalence-15 should be figured out before making a recommendation on 8. (If the resolution is just that "RDF will be embedded, using conventions decided upon later", then please disregard.) 2) The resolution of this issue will be a fairly visible use of RDF. This particular proposal could lead people to consider RDF as a metadata format that is most useful embedded in the resource being described. This is probably not the impression TAG would want to give, so some clarification would be nice.
