Yes, but it is a tracked issue, we'll get it this time! ISSUE-13 - Determine if an empty @typeof attribute should create a bnode http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/13 Just to remind everyone on why this didn't become an erratum for XHTML+RDFa 1.0: We did discuss this several times, as Mark's super-sleuthing points out :), but there were a few in the group that didn't think it could become an erratum, and would rather cause a W3C Process issue. I can't remember exactly who, but I think at least Ben, I and Shane, felt that this changed processor behavior significantly enough that it couldn't be considered an erratum. We had no test cases to cover the suggested behavior and the change would have resulted in a new mechanism to declare bnodes. I know Mark had mentioned it several times as a possibility, but neither Shane nor I could find language in the RDFa 1.0 REC to support the erratum argument. So, that's why it didn't happen as an erratum. However, none of that matters now because I think there is fairly wide agreement that typeof="" should create a bnode. > Anyway, could we discuss this on the next call, and get it 'errated'? I'll make sure to put it on the next Agenda. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: PaySwarming Goes Open Source http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2010/02/01/bitmunk-payswarming/
