Description:
pointed out by Johannes in this thread:

What transformation should be applied to XML literals? Specifically, should they
carry the XHTML namespace on all elements? If so, how? Mark points out that the
RDF spec references the Exclusive Canonicalization of XML, which requires at
least an XML parser/serializer and which could get complicated.

Related notes:

2008-03-25: resolved as "the RDFa syntax does not need any change with respect to XMLLiterals. We note that the easy way to generate a valid serialization of the XMLLiteral is to dump the namespaces and xml:lang into all top-level elements of the xml literal, including xmlns, watching out for redeclarations." on 03/20: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2008Mar/0278.html

2008-04-30: CLOSED, since it is resolved.
