Hi all, The mild cold I've had for a few days just took a turn for the worse today, and it looks unlikely that I'll be in any shape to get up early for our telecon tomorrow. However, please do have the telecon anyways, and try to hash out as much of our issues as possible. == Thursday,

XHTML 2 is a spec the XHTML 2 Working Group is currently developing. It has nothing to do with the RDFa task force, except that I assume the output of this task force will somehow get folded into that effort. Let's (please) ignore XHTML 2 for the purposes of this discussion. The XHTML 2 Wo

Manu, I do not have a problem with this; your point (in another mail) on the extra microformat values is well taken... The only additional point here is: the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab# might be a living document; ie, the XHTML working group (or anybody else 'owning' this document)

Hey all, Mark is working on the spec with caveats for the points we're still discussing, but we need to keep the discussions *going*, as Manu and others have correctly pointed out, until we've resolved the issues. While talking with folks at CC, I noticed an issue with the combination of my pro

Hi Shane/Ben, Let's not get too melodramatic, talking about deal-breakers, 'evil' unwanted triples (that's nothing to do with this debate!) and such like. We know we all want @rel="next" to work, and no-one has ever said they want otherwise. But we put the issue onto the back-burner before becau
