Right, The existing wording in RDFa Core is: In some of the examples below we have used IRIs with fragment identifiers that are local to the document containing the RDFa fragment identifiers shown (e.g., 'about="#me"'). This idiom, which is also used in RDF/XML [RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR] and other RDF serializations, gives a simple way to 'mint' new IRIs for entities described by RDFa and therefore contributes considerably to the expressive power of RDFa. Unfortunately, this practice is not at present covered by the media type registrations that govern the meaning of fragment identifiers (see section 3.5 of the URI specification [RFC3986], [RFC3023], and [RFC2854]). For more information about fragment identifier semantics, see [WEBARCH] section 3.2.1. I suggest the following, which incorporates the wording that Henry suggested with the desire to say something about what languages that incorporate RDFa Core need to do: In some of the examples below we have used IRIs with fragment identifiers that are local to the document containing the RDFa fragment identifiers shown (e.g., 'about="#me"'). This idiom, which is also used in RDF/XML [RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR] and other RDF serializations, gives a simple way to 'mint' new IRIs for entities described by RDFa and therefore contributes considerably to the expressive power of RDFa. The precise meaning of IRIs which include fragment identifiers when they appear in RDF graphs is given in Section 7 of [RDF-CONCEPTS]. To ensure that such fragment identifiers can be interpreted correctly, media type registrations for markup languages that incorporate RDFa should directly or indirectly reference this specification.

If you care to propose the text of a resolution that you believe would command consensus, and circulate that in e-mail, we could either decide it's sufficiently non-controversial after all to just go ahead without telcon discussion, or at very least we'd be better set for a focused telcon session. If you feel it's still worth the effort, that is. > > Thanks. > > Noah > > On 12/2/2011 4:11 AM, Henry S.
