Description:
An important feature of Web Architecture is that each document instance allow
the user to "follow his nose" to find all the specifications that describe how
to interpret the document.

Dan Connolly asks

  "There doesn't seem to be anything in the 000001.htm
  test document that says "this is not just any HTML document;
  it's an HTML document with RDF data inside; any RDF triples
  you extract per the RDFa spec are indeed meant by the author."

2007-04-15: approved as an OPEN issue on 2007-04-11 telecon.

2007-06-13: This issue includes the RDFa Profile discussion. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2007May/0015

2007-11-15: agreement from telecon that we have a profile, we encourage its use where possible, but we don't require it. This needs to be stated clearly in the syntax (it's not currently.)
