As per my action from today's meeting, I propose the following text for
the RDFa Syntax Errata document:
Section 9.3 defines a collection of "reserved word" values. These
values are only interpreted in the context of @rel and @rev. @rel and
@rev have been historically defined to be case-insensitive. Section 9.3
does not indicate whether the reserved words are case-sensitive or
case-insensitive. However, Section 5.4.4 does mandate that the use of
these values are required to be mapped to URIs in the XHTML Vocabulary
via fragment identifiers, and fragment identifiers are by definition
case-sensitive. For the avoidance of doubt, a Conforming RDFa Processor
MUST treat the reserved word values as case-insensitive on input, and
MUST transform the values to lower-case when mapping them to URIs in the
XHTML Vocabulary.
Comments?
