RDF-ISSUE-63 (html5-datatype): Introduce an HTML5 datatype [RDF General]

http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/63

Raised by: Richard Cyganiak
On product: RDF General

The 2004 WG worked under the assumption that the future of HTML was XHTML. The use case of shipping markup fragments as RDF payloads would be addressed by rdf:XMLLiteral.

In 2011, shipping HTML5 fragments should be considered a relevant use case. Is rdf:XMLLiteral still adequate for this task? Is a new datatype with HTML5 fragments lexical space needed?
