ISSUE-102

Last Call Comment: Better name than 'instanceof' is needed

State:
CLOSED
Product:
RDFa
Raised by:
Ben Adida
Opened on:
2008-03-20
Description:
raised by John Boyer in [1]:

"""
...
Instantiation does not appear to be what is happening in the case of RDFa. 
 Instead, the element to which you attach "instanceof" is something to 
which you simply seem to be attaching some RDF type information.  A name 
that more accurately reflects that behavior would be preferable.
