Hello Jeni, Can you please forward the information below to the RDFa WG and other relevant parties?

What's the HTML issue or bug and what's the current status? The IETF IRI WG's mailing list is hosted by the W3C at public-iri@w3.org. Archives and subscription instructions are at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/. Joining the WG is done by joining the mailing list, and there are no minimal time commitments, although any kind of contribution and help is appreciated. The list of documents, charter, and so on, can be found at http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/iri/. More information can be found on the tools page at http://tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/. The list of issues can be found at http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/report/1 I very strongly suggest that you enter a new issue/new issues for the topic of RDFa in HTML. While these will be related to the generic HTML issues, they are not the same. To enter issues, you need a login, which you can obtain from http://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/loginmgr/newlogin. >> " The RDFWAWG has opened rdfa-ISSUE-114 on this [10] which is on their agenda for discussion tomorrow.

Well, RDF allows IRIs (and not just URIs) because this can often be very handy, e.g. in ontologies in languages that are written with non-ASCII characters,... The same applies to RDFa.
