Jim gets his information from [1] which is the grammar section of the RDF/XML syntax specification which states the rdf:RDF must be the ROOT of the RDF/XML document - as it says there >5.2 doc root(document-element=RDF, children=list(RDF)) Further, the editor of that document was in my office as I wrote the message, following a multihour discussion where we debated best way to do these things (believe it or not, I do do my homework Peter!). It is possible that we have identified an incocnsistency in the new RDF documents - but my guess is it gets down to the issue of what is an XML document which has RDF in it, and what is an RDF/XML document (i.e. those with MIME type "application/rdf+xml" - the proposed type for RDF/XML). I will see the editor again later today and will ask him about this inconsistency. -JH http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-grammar-summary -- Professor James Hendler hendler@cs.umd.edu Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 240-731-3822 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler
