Description Philippe Le Hegaret 2011-08-03 21:50:57 UTC 
The specification says:
[[
Non-XML mode HTML+RDFa 1.1 documents should be labeled with the Internet Media 
Type "text/html" as defined in [RFC3236]. 
]]

However, RFC3236 defines application/xhtml+xml, and not text/html.

In any case, HTML5 now contains the definition for the media types in section 12.

I suggest referencing section 12.1 of HTML5 (and while you're at it, please update your reference to HTML5 to point to latest version)

Status: Fixed

Technical Description: 

The HTML+RDFa specification, when suggesting that the "text/html" MIMEType be used to serve HTML+RDFa content, pointed to the wrong specification for the text/html MIMEType.

Rationale:

Fixed. This text now refers to section 12.1 of the HTML5 specification. I think the HTML5 reference points to TR-space, which is the latest published W3C version.
