Re: ACTION-509

Right,

The existing wording in RDFa Core is:

   In some of the examples below we have used IRIs with fragment
   identifiers that are local to the document containing the RDFa
   fragment identifiers shown (e.g., 'about="#me"'). This idiom, which
   is also used in RDF/XML [RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR] and other RDF
   serializations, gives a simple way to 'mint' new IRIs for entities
   described by RDFa and therefore contributes considerably to the
   expressive power of RDFa. Unfortunately, this practice is not at
   present covered by the media type registrations that govern the
   meaning of fragment identifiers (see section 3.5 of the URI
   specification [RFC3986], [RFC3023], and [RFC2854]). For more
   information about fragment identifier semantics, see [WEBARCH]
   section 3.2.1.

I suggest the following, which incorporates the wording that Henry suggested with the desire to say something about what languages that incorporate RDFa Core need to do:

   In some of the examples below we have used IRIs with fragment
   identifiers that are local to the document containing the RDFa
   fragment identifiers shown (e.g., 'about="#me"'). This idiom, which
   is also used in RDF/XML [RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR] and other RDF
   serializations, gives a simple way to 'mint' new IRIs for entities
   described by RDFa and therefore contributes considerably to the
   expressive power of RDFa. The precise meaning of IRIs which include 
   fragment identifiers when they appear in RDF graphs is given in 
   Section 7 of [RDF-CONCEPTS]. To ensure that such fragment identifiers
   can be interpreted correctly, media type registrations for markup 
   languages that incorporate RDFa should directly or indirectly
   reference this specification.

Any objections?

If you care to propose the text of a resolution that you believe would command consensus, and circulate that in e-mail, we could either decide it's sufficiently non-controversial after all to just go ahead without telcon discussion, or at very least we'd be better set for a focused telcon session. If you feel it's still worth the effort, that is.
