Description Leif Halvard Silli 2010-05-03 10:32:38 UTC 
A 'HTML4+RDFa' is great.  But, please make some more edits of the DTD. E.g. strike this text from it:

]]
    Authors should use the Strict
    DTD when possible, but may use the Transitional DTD when support
    for presentation attribute and elements is required.
[[

PS: To have a 'HTML5+RDFa' DTD would be even greater,  see Maciej's comment:

Comment 1 Leif Halvard Silli 2010-05-03 10:44:41 UTC 
May be it would be good to make clear that this is a transitional doctype, w.r.t. content, but strict w.r.t. rendering mode.

Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

Removed offending text, made it clear that the DTD is Transitional wrt to content, but Strict wrt rendering mode:

http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100504/DTD/html401-rdfa11-1.dtd.diff?r1=1.1&r2=1.2&f=h

Rationale:

I don't quite grok the request, but the submitter seems to know more about the nuances than I do and a change to the text doesn't seem like it would harm anything.
Comment 3 Leif Halvard Silli 2011-01-21 07:04:41 UTC 
Satisfied.
