Official Response to ISSUE-132 from RDF Web Apps WG

Hi Henri,

Thank you for your public feedback on the RDFa 1.1 documents. This is an
official response from the RDF Web Apps WG to your Last Call issue
before we enter the Candidate Recommendation phase for the RDFa 1.1
specifications.

Your issue was tracked here:

https://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/132

Explanation of Issue
--------------------

You had raised a number of concerns in the HTML WG requesting
clarification on which RDFa attributes were allowed on which elements in
HTML+RDFa:

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15913

Of particular concern was that the @src attribute seemed to be allowed
on all elements in HTML+RDFa.

Working Group Decision
----------------------

The Working Group considered your concern and found that it was never
the intent of the Working Group to imply that @src and @href should be
allowed on anything other than what the Host Language allowed. For the
avoidance of doubt, in HTML+RDFa, the @src attribute should only be
allowed on the elements that the base HTML5 specification allows.

RESOLVED: The @src attribute is only allowed on elements defined by the
Host Language. (non-substantive)

http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/meetings/2012-02-23#resolution_2

Expect this clarification in the next version of the HTML+RDFa
specification. This is a non-substantive finding for RDFa Core 1.1,
XHTML+RDFa 1.1 and HTML+RDFa 1.1.

Feedback
--------

Since this is an official Working Group response to your issue, we would
appreciate it if you responded to this e-mail and let us know if the
decision made by the group is acceptable to you as soon as possible.
