I looked at schema.org. Lots of good stuff there. Were you making a specific point about how they did anything? I notice they adopt the idea of "global attributes" -- attributes that can appear on any element. HTML5 and Atom also do this, so I think we're in good company doing the same. I'm working on some examples tonight... --- Raj The OGC: Making location count... http://www.opengeospatial.org/contact On Sep 28, at 9:54 AM, Dan Brickley wrote: > > > > > On 28 Sep 2011, at 14:47, Raj Singh <rsingh@opengeospatial.org> wrote: > >> In the last F2F we talked a lot about using the HTML5 link tag as much as possible.

And their meaning and usage is different than ours. For example, we want to inline author information sometimes. Using a "link" object and actually defining what it really is with the link's "rel" attribute does adds an unnecessary level of complexity with no real benefit to developers or users as the relationship between HTML5 links and our idea of links is weak. >> > > Did you see the Microdata syntax in HTML5?
