ISSUE-109

Last Call Comment: do something with @cite

State:
CLOSED
Product:
RDFa
Raised by:
Ben Adida
Opened on:
2008-04-03
Description:
raised by Laurens Holst in [1]:

"""
First of all, I think the @cite attribute on blockquote and q elements 
should have the same status as @href (be considered as @resource), so 
that RDFa can pick up on existing cite attribute annotations in 
documents, and to avoid authors having to write the citation URI twice, 
one for RDFa and one for HTML. See the example in section 6.3.2.1.
"""

Discussion already under way with a good explanation by Mark as to why we didn't
do this [2]. May be sufficient, will confirm with task force.

2008-04-30: RESOLVED as: "We considered @cite but realized that many other attributes would then require RDFa interpretation and that doing so is not simple. We defer this issue to a future version of RDFa."
