Description Mark Rogers 2014-04-21 12:03:45 UTC
There's a contradiction between the HTML 5 CR and the RDFa Core 1.1 over the status of the REV attribute

From HTML5 CR and 5.1 nightly:

11.2 Non-conforming features"
"The following attributes are obsolete (though the elements are still part of the language), and must not be used by authors:
"rev on a elements"
"rev on link elements

RDFa Core 1.1 - Second Edition says:

"RDFa supports the use of @rel and @rev on any element"

This is certainly confusing at the moment. Removing REV from the list of obsolete attributes in HTML 5 seems like the simplest, lowest impact fix.

Thanks, I've removed it from the list of obsolete attributes in CR. I'm keeping this bug open because the change will have to be ported to master.
