14:16:39 <manu> Manu explains why this is a problem for Drupal, CMS systems.

14:16:50 <manu> Ivan: If something is a literal, processing stops at that moment.

Ivan Herman: If something is a literal, processing stops at that moment.

14:16:57 <manu> Ivan: The content of the literal is forgotten for RDFa.

Ivan Herman: The content of the literal is forgotten for RDFa.

14:17:29 <manu> Ivan: The question is whether we should generate the literal and if we should continue to process the contents of the literal.

Ivan Herman: The question is whether we should generate the literal and if we should continue to process the contents of the literal.

14:17:50 <manu> Steven: If you put <body property="foo:bar" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral">...</body> then nothing would be accessible on the body.

Steven Pemberton: If you put <body property="foo:bar" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral">...</body> then nothing would be accessible on the body.

14:17:54 <manu> Shane: Yes, that's correct.

Shane McCarron: Yes, that's correct.

14:18:11 <manu> Manu: I think we should support this.

Manu Sporny: I think we should support this.

14:18:35 <manu> Ivan: I don't see any reason why we wouldn't support this - we're adding more triples, not changing ones that already exist.

Ivan Herman: I don't see any reason why we wouldn't support this - we're adding more triples, not changing ones that already exist.

14:18:41 <manu> Ivan: Pretty trivial change in the processing instructions.

Ivan Herman: Pretty trivial change in the processing instructions.

14:19:05 <manu> Ivan: Editorially, it's a bit more complicated - we do have a processing step whether or not we do/do not do recursion.

Ivan Herman: Editorially, it's a bit more complicated - we do have a processing step whether or not we do/do not do recursion.

14:19:15 <ShaneM> q+ to suggest making it optional

Shane McCarron: We've already made a major change in this area - only place we've changed backwards compatibility

14:22:10 <manu> Shane: Now we're making a stronger change to XMLLiteral

Shane McCarron: Now we're making a stronger change to XMLLiteral

14:22:21 <manu> Shane: In 1.1 we get a plain literal instead of an XMLLiteral now.

Shane McCarron: In 1.1 we get a plain literal instead of an XMLLiteral now.

Shane McCarron: So, now if I want an XMLLiteral, I have to request it

14:23:10 <manu> Shane: Today, right now, for RDFa 1.0 you can explicity say that the datatype is rdf:XMLLiteral - and that has the same behavior if you didn't specify the datatype in 1.0

Shane McCarron: Today, right now, for RDFa 1.0 you can explicity say that the datatype is rdf:XMLLiteral - and that has the same behavior if you didn't specify the datatype in 1.0

14:23:23 <manu> Shane: In all of my RDFa that I produce right now, I say rdf:XMLLiteral so that I'm forward compatible.

14:23:32 <manu> Shane: Presumably, anybody that is in the know is doing the same thing now, but

Shane McCarron: Presumably, anybody that is in the know is doing the same thing now, but

14:23:51 <manu> Shane: A 1.0 parser in that mode is going to produce fewer triples than a 1.1 parser - don't know if that's bad or not.

Shane McCarron: A 1.0 parser in that mode is going to produce fewer triples than a 1.1 parser - don't know if that's bad or not.

14:24:00 <manu> Ivan: Let's put it this way, formally speaking, this is not a problem.

Ivan Herman: Let's put it this way, formally speaking, this is not a problem.

14:24:20 <manu> Ivan: All we're saying is that 1.0 triples are still generated, but now we have even more triples that are generated.

Ivan Herman: All we're saying is that 1.0 triples are still generated, but now we have even more triples that are generated.

14:24:35 <manu> Ivan: Charter-wise this is not a problem

Ivan Herman: Charter-wise this is not a problem

14:24:44 <manu> Ivan: Socially, this might be a problem...

Ivan Herman: Socially, this might be a problem...

14:25:04 <manu> Ivan: Difficult to say if that's a problem - I'm not sure that XMLLiterals were used very frequently in 1.0 in the first place.

14:28:36 <manu> Shane: But, according to the spec, sequence step 11, the recurse is only set to false when you're talking about an XMLLiteral

Shane McCarron: Processing continues

14:31:46 <manu> Manu: So, the issue here is that you don't recurse in the very specific case listed above (property and datatype of XMLLIteral)

Manu Sporny: So, the issue here is that you don't recurse in the very specific case listed above (property and datatype of XMLLIteral)

14:54:16 <manu> Steven: Why is this bad RDF? The property states that the resource is a URL that just happens to be a string. It's one level more of indirection.

Steven Pemberton: Why is this bad RDF? The property states that the resource is a URL that just happens to be a string. It's one level more of indirection.

14:55:03 <manu> Ivan: What will happen is that we will push the ugliness elsewhere - people will define various vocabularies - proper ontologies will say you should have a URI reference, but the people that are generating the RDF generating strings instead of URIs

14:56:32 <manu> Benjamin: We shouldn't not add a bug fix of someone else to the spec - we should be compatible with most of the data - could we add an informal hint to developers.
