15:31:14 <Benjamin> ivan: I disagree

Ivan Herman: I disagree

15:32:49 <Benjamin> ShaneM: That's okay that you disagree, but the group decided the design for RDFa Core should be abstract and shouldn't talk about Host Language conformance.

Shane McCarron: That's okay that you disagree, but the group decided the design for RDFa Core should be abstract and shouldn't talk about Host Language conformance.

15:34:47 <Benjamin> ivan: Yes, but RDFa Core already works with any XML language... it's already in there, you can take all conforming RDFa 1.1 processors, point them at an XML document and get triples out of it.

15:42:08 <tinkster> chances are you'd hardcode both.

Toby Inkster: chances are you'd hardcode both.

15:42:34 <Benjamin> ShaneM: We should not have two profiles that are required to be loaded, you have to go out to the network to get them in the worst case and there is no reason we need to make profiles depend on other profiles. Just use one profile.

15:45:55 <Zakim> manu: We can't depend on media type - you can't make the distinction on which profile to load based strictly on that. We may need to depend on the value of xmlns on the root element, or <svg> or something like that - we need to sniff the document, in other words.
