"""
2.1 Processing described for static information only (section 5)

RDFa in XHTML seems to be scoped for static information only, and the processing
model is described for a static DOM that does not account for dynamic changes
after the document has been loaded. (Cf. first sentence in 5.5: “Processing
would normally begin after the document to be parsed has been completely
loaded”.)  This processing model seems restricted with regard to Web 2.0
applications that dynamically add or remove information while interacting with
the user.  Has the use of RDFa for dynamic information in XHTML pages been
considered?

2008-04-30: RESOLVED in http://www.w3.org/2008/04/24-rdfa-minutes.html as "No change in the syntax document needed as it is not obvious that there is a tractable solution to the full problem. We will create a section on the RDFa community Wiki to address dynamic modification of XHTML." Manu to contact PFWG.
