rdfa attribute namespace
Can RDFa attributes be namespaced?
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- LC Comment - RDFa Core 1.1

- Description:
- During a discussion about RDFa Host Language Conformance, the question arose on whether or not RDFa attributes were allowed to be used in namespace-aware XML languages:
http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/meetings/2011-02-03#ISSUE__2d_74__3a__Host_Language_Conformance
The RDFa Working Group needs to decide if RDFa can be integrated into other languages in a namespaced fashion. It was suggested that this could be an optional feature of RDFa Processors after noting that making it a mandatory feature would complicate RDFa Processor implementations more than desired. - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
Note that XHTML Modularization says the following about XHTML attributes:
Each of the attributes defined in an XHTML attribute collection is available for use when their corresponding module is included in an XHTML Host Language or an XHTML Integration Set. In such a situation, the attributes are available for use in the definition of elements that are NOT in the XHTML namespace when they are referenced using their namespace-qualified identifier (e.g., xhtml:class). The semantics of the attributes remain the same regardless of whether they are referenced using their qualified identifier or not. It is an error to use an XHTML namespace-qualified attribute on elements from the XHTML Namespace.
The spec has been updated to reflect the resolution from the 14 February meeting.
