Description Maciej Stachowiak 2010-02-14 06:36:04 UTC
Section 3.1 Document Conformance has a bullet point that says:

"All document conformance requirements stated as mandatory in the HTML5 specification must be met."

However, section 5 allows some extensions to the HTML5 syntax. I assume the intent is that these extensions are allowed in a conforming HTML5+RDfa document; the bullet point should make this clear.

Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

Added the following bullet item to the list of conformance criteria:

"All Extensions to the HTML5 Syntax, as described in this document, must be considered valid and conforming in a HTML+RDFa 1.1 document."

http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100502/#document-conformance

Rationale:

There is no harm in making it crystal clear that the HTML5 syntax extensions in the document should be considered conforming.
