    <thetext>Under the RDF extraction procedure &lt;http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/microdata.html#rdf&gt; any tokens in @rel are converted to lower-case. This includes instances where URIs have been used as tokens. Many RDF properties include some upper-case characters, including the commonly used http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso property.

Possible solutions include:

* Require (or at least permit) extractors to consider tokens containing colons case-sensitively; or

* Document the limitation.</thetext>
